Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Miym Food

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH CHICKEN (MIYM)

Steps:

• Wash and dry the chicken breasts. Move the chicken breasts to a cutting board. Place your non-dominant hand flat on one of the chicken breasts, and use the other hand and a sharp knife to slice through the thick side of the chicken. I normally end up with two large pieces and one small piece per chicken breast. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Optional step: Place the chicken in a bowl and cover the chicken with buttermilk (for me this takes about 1 cup of buttermilk). Toss the chicken to make sure the pieces at the bottom are coated in buttermilk as well. Marinate for 20 - 25 minutes in the refrigerator. This tenderizes the chicken, but it's very much an optional step - it will be delicious either way.
• While the chicken is marinating, add the mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of the parmesan, the garlic powder, the sea salt, the onion powder, the black pepper, the paprika, the red chili flakes, and the parsley flakes to a small bowl. Mix to combine.
• When the chicken is nearing the end of marinating, preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Once the chicken has finished marinating, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Discard the remaining marinade and dry each piece of chicken before placing it on a baking dish. The dish doesn't need to be too large, but the pieces should be able to lay next to each other rather than on top of each other. I used a 9" x 11" size casserole dish.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the chicken, then sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 20 - 25 minutes (or until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 F). Turn the oven to broil and broil for 1 minute, or until the topping is golden.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
