How To Make Tender Chicken Delight Recipe:

Step 1: Prep Chicken: First, make three equal cuts (slits) on each chicken breast.

Step 2: Make Marinade: Combine 1 cup yogurt or mayonnaise, 1/2 of the 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 3: Marinate (Optional): Marinate the chicken in the fridge overnight.

Step 4: Prep and Coat: Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Place the chicken pieces on a baking tray. (The instruction mentions cutting into thin slices after marinating; however, for baking whole breasts, proceed with whole pieces). Ensure each chicken breast is coated with the mayonnaise mixture.

Step 5: Top and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining half of the Parmesan cheese over the coated chicken fillets. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165F/74C).

Step 6: Serve: Once the process is completed, remove the chicken from the oven and serve hot.

Notes:

• You can use strained yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.

• Feel free to play around with cheeses like Asiago or Romano to get the flavor profile you want.

• Serve this delicious chicken with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complete a complete meal.
