How to Make

1. 1.

   Preheat the Oven

   Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a baking dish. This step is essential for any baked chicken recipe to ensure even cooking and easy cleanup.

2. 2.

   Season the Chicken Breasts

   Pat the chicken breasts dry using a paper towel. Then season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. This forms the flavour-packed base of this chicken breast recipe for dinner.

3. 3.

   Prepare the Cheese Topping

   In a bowl, mix shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and mayonnaise (or sour cream). Stir until smooth. This rich combo is the heart of many cheese chicken recipes and adds a gooey, creamy layer to your dish.

4. 4.

   Assemble in a Baking Dish

   Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in your prepared dish. Spread the cheesy topping generously over each piece. This is what makes it one of the most comforting chicken and cheese recipes out there.

5. 5.

   Bake the Chicken

   Bake your chicken uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C). This step locks in moisture, making it one of the juiciest baked chicken breast recipes you'll try.

6. 6.

   Broil for a Crispy Finish

   Switch to broil mode for the final 2–3 minutes of baking. This gives your baked chicken breast that irresistible golden top, key to a crowd-pleasing baked chicken recipe.

7. 7.

   Rest and Garnish

   Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley. Whether it’s a weeknight special or a weekend treat, this chicken breast recipe is a satisfying, no-fuss meal.
