  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup full-fat Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

 

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade: Place thinly sliced chicken breasts in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.
  • Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it's heating, create the creamy topping mixture.
  • Mix the Topping: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, half of the Parmesan cheese, dried minced onion, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Prepare for Baking: Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange in a baking dish.
  • Apply Topping: Generously spread the creamy mixture over each chicken breast. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake to Perfection: Place in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until chicken is cooked through and topping is golden.

 

  • Final Touch: Switch to broiler for the last 5 minutes to achieve a perfectly browned, crispy top.
