Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a rich and flavorful baked dish featuring tender thinly sliced chicken breasts smothered in a garlic mayo and parmesan cheese sauce. This easy-to-make, comforting recipe comes together quickly and is perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)

Sauce

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt (or seasoned salt)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole or large baking dish to prevent sticking. Arrange the thinly sliced chicken breasts in an even layer in the prepared dish.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, minced garlic, garlic salt, and freshly cracked pepper until well combined and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Dish: Spread the creamy garlic-parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring full coverage. Then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of parmesan cheese generously over the top for a cheesy crust.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F as measured by an instant-read thermometer. This ensures the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest briefly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot for a delicious, creamy garlic parmesan chicken meal.

Notes

  • For a crispier top, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for best flavor rather than pre-shredded options.
  • Thinly slice chicken breasts evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
