Re: Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

I made this a few weeks ago and it was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to make it again.

Re: Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

This is a great recipe but it only needs to bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Delicious with a fresh, crispy salad or some steamed green beans or broccoli.

Re: Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

You are all so very welcome! Carol1229 posted some of the best recipes. Many of them were made with health-conscious choices as well....., so you can search her name, if interested in more of her recipes!

ReikiLady - YES a cup of Mayo does sound like a lot, but I use it sparingly and sometimes only use 1/2 of it on 6-8 breasts. I don't overdo in most recipes, so once-in-a-while can be a treat. There are many people who don't think that way, but oh well! Smiley Happy

Carol1229 did mention she found this recipe on Pinterest, or she may have adapted it from there. I saw a similar recipe on Pinterest, but it was just a tad different. I trusted Carol with her recipe changes, if she made any, so I did it like she wrote it.

Nightowlz - YES...I found her on Taste of Home, also. She mentioned in the past that she frequents that site and some others. She has a TON of recipes on TOH site, and I've been going through them this past week a little at a time. I wonder why she left us....Smiley Sad She was such a joy to have here! I wonder, also, why Ties That Bind left a few years ago after posting so many recipes daily...hope she's doing OK!!

happygal - I believe it's safe to cook with Mayo. I also think it's the Mayo that helps make the chicken tender?

You have to be more careful with homemade versus store bought, from what I have read. (I also always use Best Foods / Hellman's)

Re: Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

I am so bummed out! I made this tonight, and the chicken came out of the oven sitting in a very deep amount of fat. All the flavor was in the fat, too, not in the chicken. I could see the melted cheese floating in it. What did I do wrong? I followed the recipe exactly. I was hoping this could be an easy, last minute dinner for us , but I don't think I would try it again. {#emotions_dlg.sad}

Hmm...I'm so sorry that you didn't have a good experience with this recipe. It's always worked well for me. I have made it when there were some juices in the bottom of the pan, but there has ALWAYS been the browned coating on the top. I do make sure I trim any extra fat off the boneless breasts, so I'm not sure if that is the issue, or what? I also make sure that I pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels before putting them in the pan or adding the coating. I usually have made this ahead of time and they sit in the fridge for a few hours before I take them out 30 minutes prior to baking in the oven.

I hope others help figure out what may have gone wrong, so you will feel confident about making it again... I'm sorry!

Re: Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

I made this last week, very delicious, will definitely make again. I followed the recipe exactly (I always do the first time around), next time I will use just a tad bit less seasoned salt, I use very little salt in my cooking. Otherwise, perfect!
