Parmesan Chicken Bake

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Parmesan Chicken Bake is my most popular recipe because it is an easy dinner recipe using baked chicken breasts. This parmesan chicken recipe only has a few ingredients, a quick prep time, and tastes amazing. These tender chicken breasts bake in the oven with mayo and parmesan cheese until crispy, but don’t be fooled by the simple list of ingredients in this recipe. It just might be the best (and simplest) chicken recipe you’ve ever made!

Why I Love This Easy Chicken Recipe

This recipe for oven-baked parmesan chicken casserole brings back so many fun (and delicious) memories of the trips I’ve made to visit with all my family who live far away. When we are together there are A LOT of us and, we always make this cheesy chicken, usually on the first night. It’s the perfect dinner for our big crowd and hits all the required family-friendly notes: crispy, cheesy, and easy to throw together. 

Visiting family is such a bittersweet experience for me. While it is so amazing to spend time with those I love most, I also suffer from such depression once it is over. After two weeks visiting my parents in Ohio, we are currently heading back home to Minnesota. Yes, it will be tough on me, but it is heartbreaking to see how tough it is on my kids. They have had two weeks packed with wonderful memories that I hope will get them through until next summer.

Do me a favor. If you are blessed to have family close by (and by that I mean under a 2-hour drive), be grateful and spend more time with them. Those of us who only get to see family a couple of times a year are very jealous!!!

Once we are back home, my children will expect me to cook them meals. How dare they! Like you, I am always on the hunt for great chicken bake recipes and this is definitely one. You won’t be disappointed! It is delicious hot from the oven and even better the next day as leftovers. I often make two pans at a time because we love this parmesan chicken that much.

Parmesan Chicken Bake recipe

What is Parmesan Chicken Bake

As the name implies, a Parmesan Chicken Bake is a meal assembled in a casserole dish, starting with boneless chicken breasts on the bottom. Then, a sauce of mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and seasonings gets slathered on top. The casserole is baked in the oven until the top gets golden brown and crispy, resulting in very tender chicken due to the mayo in the sauce. The cheesy recipe is a popular low carb,  keto-friendly alternative to chicken parmigiana because there are no breadcrumbs or deep frying involved in the preparation.

Baked Parmesan Chicken Ingredients

The first time I ever made this recipe, it was a leap of faith. I took a look at the underwhelming list of ingredients and misjudged how the chicken bake would taste. I’ve fine tuned the recipe over the years until it is now perfect!

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – simple to find at any grocery store and often the least expensive cut of chicken as well. Boneless chicken thighs would also work, as would bone-in breasts but remove the skin first. Any skin would only end up mushy under the sauce.
  • Mayonnaise – don’t go cheap with this important ingredient. It is the base of the whole sauce and must be a quality brand. I recommend Hellmann’s (aka Best Foods) or Dukes. Do not use Miracle Whip!
  • Fresh parmesan cheese – skip the fake stuff in the green can and grab a triangle of real parmesan cheese then grate it yourself. If possible, skip the containers of pre-shredded parmesan as well. The manufacturer covers the cheese in cellulose (wood pulp) and won’t melt into the sauce at all. 
  • Seasoned salt – *important note* this is not the same as regular salt so don’t make that mistake, or the finished dish will be too salty. Seasoned salt is a mixture of various seasonings, as well as salt. Lowry’s brand works well in this recipe and you’ll find it easily at your store.

Recipe FAQs 

Can I use powdered parmesan cheese in the green can?

Sorry, but this is a big no! The powdered parmesan cheese in the green cans is mainly buttermilk powder, salt, and then a bit of parmesan cheese. Not only will the finished chicken breasts be way too salty, but this “cheese” will leave a sandy, gritty texture in the sauce. Instead, grab a triangle of fresh parmesan cheese from the refrigerated section of the store, grate it up at home, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Using real parmesan results in the best parmesan chicken you’ve ever tasted.

What is the difference between “seasoned salt” in the recipe and regular salt?

There is a big difference and it is very important to understand so the chicken bake doesn’t end up much too salty. Seasoned salt is exactly as it sounds, a combination of salt and various seasonings like paprika, garlic, onion, and chili powder. The recipe below calls for 1 ½ teaspoons of seasoned salt but only about 25% of that is actual salt. If you use regular salt, in combination with the salty parmesan cheese, the finished casserole will be extremely salty, as some commenters on this post have complained about.

Can Parmesan Chicken Bake be frozen?

Unfortunately, this is not a recipe that works well as a freezer meal. The mayo in the sauce reacts in funny ways as it freezes. It creates an unpleasant grainy texture once it thaws and goes in the oven. Instead of freezing the chicken bake, assemble it a few days ahead of time, cover it tightly with foil, and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve. It can safely stay prepped in the refrigerator for 3-4 days before baking.

Can I use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise?

Unfortunately, this parmesan chicken casserole will not work well if you use Miracle Whip. Mayonnaise is the emulsification of water, oil, and eggs, while Miracle Whip adds high fructose corn syrup and seasonings. The end result is much too sweet for this chicken recipe and the sauce becomes thin and runny because the Miracle Whip doesn’t do well in the oven. 

How to keep the chicken from getting watery

Because the chicken does get a bit crowded in the 9×13 pan, it creates a bit of a pan sauce.  If you would prefer your end result without the pan sauce at the bottom of your dish, simply use a bigger pan or baking dish, or even a rimmed half-sheet pan. This creates room for the moisture to evaporate while it is baking. If you do this, you will need to reduce the cooking time by 5-8 minutes. The chicken cooks quicker being farther apart. 

How to store leftover parmesan chicken

This recipe is one of those rare dinners that actually gets better tasting after it sits for a night in the fridge. Any leftovers will not last very long. Transfer the uneaten parmesan chicken into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up 5-6 days. Leftovers reheat very well in the microwave and make for a great lunch to bring to the office.

Parmesan Chicken Recipe Variations

Being a home cook provides endless opportunities to experiment with recipes, personalizing them to your tastes and creativity. Any of the following variations would be great spin-offs of this cheesy chicken bake:

  • Add fresh vegetables to the pan with the chicken and sauce, but be sure to use a bigger casserole dish, or a rimmed baking sheet. This will give the chicken room for the excess moisture to evaporate from the pan.
  • Add marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese to the top of the chicken for a tasty Italian spin on the recipe. 
  • Add buttered Panko breadcrumbs all over the top of the casserole. They will become golden brown and crispy as the parmesan chicken bakes. And even better, add some fresh garlic to the breadcrumbs as well. 
  • Serve it over rice or pasta with the pan sauce and some chopped fresh herbs like Italian parsley or basil.

Parmesan Chicken Bake Recipe

4.9 from 7 reviews

Print Recipe
Pin Recipe

An easy chicken recipe for dinner that bakes in the oven.  Loaded with flavor and the chicken turns out super tender.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 C light mayonnaise or greek yogurt (I have done 1/2 of each as well)
  • 1/2 c fresh parmesan cheese, plus more for the top
  • 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt (Not regular table salt)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray the inside of a 9×13 glass pan. Lay the chicken inside the pan.
  2. Mix together the remaining ingredients and spread evenly over each piece of chicken, being sure to cover all the exposed raw meat (so it doesn’t dry out.) Sprinkle on a bit more fresh parmesan over all the chicken.
  3. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. This dish is even better the next day, so just reheat in the microwave!

Notes

Some have commented that this dish was way too salty. Please be sure you are using fresh parmesan cheese, not the stuff from a can. Also, use seasoned salt, NOT table salt. I have made this multiple times and have never had trouble with the salt level. If you are worried, use less.

    I recently posted this as “melt in your mouth chicken”. I definitely reduce the amount of mayo – there’s just no reason to use an entire cup. Yummy stuff!!

          Can you use just regular mayo or miracle whip? We don’t eat yogart at all nor light mayo & I hate to buy items just to use a little in 1 recipe. But if it makes a big difference then I will either buy it or not make the recipe but it sounds SO good & easy!! Thank you for sharing!

          Hi Carole, I need some advice…I just replied to an older reply here…Anyway I’m having a problem: I’ve made this twice and used Chobani fat free Greek Yogurt, Hellman’s Mayo and grated parmesan cheese from Kroger that comes in a package. My boyfriend and teenaged daughter loves it but I’m disappointed it got soupy/curdled. I made sure I dried off my chicken very well. I’m wondering if I should be using full-fat yogurt? I think I’m using the right parmesan. Thanks for any tips!

            I think your fat free yogurt might be to blame Rachel. It should make a sauce when it cooks but it should not curdle. It could also be too high of a temperature so maybe your oven is running hot. Those are my two initial thoughts. Thanks

          • Rachel says

            March 19, 2015 at 10:27 pm

            Thank you, Carole! I will try using regular Greek Yogurt and let you know how it turns out. It really is a delicious recipe! Thanks again!!

            This recipe was absolutely great! My breasts are very thick and would have been a better ratio to filet the breasts.

            I was concerned if flavor would be bland but they combination of mayo and fresh parm is fabulous! I also use Natures Seasoning as my all purpose seasoning salt.

            Thank you again!!

            Could you share a recommendation for how many pounds you use to equal the 6 breasts?

        Hey Jacqueline! I’ve never tried doing that. I worry it would get overcooked and mushy if you baked it in the pan with the chicken. I would cook it separately and then serve the chicken and sauce over the top of the cooked asparagus.

    This sounds so yummy! I know how hard it is to live far from home. I’m originally from east central MN, and now I live in IL with my fiance. I’ve been here about a year, and it’s so lonely without my family close by! 🙁 I know how you feel.

    I just have to chuckle about the whole spelling thing. For those offended, I am sorry. Obviously, it was a mistype on the picture because I got it right four other times throughout the post 🙂

    I should probably change it, but the comments are just too much entertainment for me.

            I just popped it out of the oven… I bought seasoned salt, I bought parmesan cheese that was not in a can form and it still came out salty. In my husbands words “very salty”.

          • Carole says

            June 10, 2015 at 9:52 pm

            Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know Miriam. I think I have concluded that each brand of season salt has such a wide variance of sodium levels that it is making some turn out perfect and others too salty. I hope you give it a try one more time but reduce the season salt amount!

            Has anyone used regular canned parmesan cheese and not fresh?

          • Carole says

            June 15, 2015 at 3:38 pm

            It will certainly work, but I would cut back quite a bit on the seasoned salt because the canned parm is saltier than the fresh. I would encourage you to try it with the fresh as well….I know you will taste the difference -Carole

      I have never tried the crock pot. I’m sure it would work, just a soup-ier end result and if not closely watched, it could become tough by cooking it too long. That is always the biggest risk with cooking chicken in a crock pot.

    I made this tonight, and was not thrilled with how it turned out. I did not have plain mayo, just Miracle Whip. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a tee. They did not brown up well, there was a “soupy” mess in the bottom of the dish, and the Miracle Whip flavor was very dominant. I’m not sure if I will try this one again. 🙁

      Mrs Becker- sorry to hear it didn’t go well for you but I think the use of Miracle Whip is what caused your trouble. If you feel brave enough, try it again with mayo. It will result in a nice thick topping and be sure it is baked uncovered as well.

    How do you think it would work with sour cream instead of mayo? I don’t really like cooking with mayo because of the high calories. I like light or low fat sour cream but not light mayo. I know greek yogurt is the consistency of sour cream….just wondering if you have ever tried this or thought it would work the same.

    I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Mine also got a little soupy like some of the comments said (despite in being cooked uncovered) but it didn’t matter because it tasted so wonderful! I did half Greek yogurt and half light mayonnaise and used one clove of fresh minced garlic rather than the garlic powder. I also added a teaspoon or so of fresh rosemary. I’ll definitely be making this again! Can’t wait for the leftovers for tomorrow nights dinner!

    Found this on Pintrest last night and made it tonight – it was great! I used all Greek yogurt, which I hadn’t had before but smells like sour cream so I bet that would work too. Didn’t read the comments before so covered it for 2/3 of the time. Was kind of soupy but soooo juicy! Definitely a keeper. I’m from WI and living in VA (and am headed to New Ulm in a few weeks 🙂 so can ID with the long distance family ties. Will be back to your fab blog, thanks so much!

    Made this last night & it was extremely salty – so much so I had to take all of the top off. Not sure what happened – I only used 1 tsp of salt not even the full 1.5 tsp…

      I RARELY use table salt, so when it calls for salt in the recipe, I cut it WAY back because I will definitely taste it. As far as mayo vs Miracle Whip — I was raised on Miracle Whip and I don’t care for mayo, so in similar recipes I’ve used Miracle Whip and the recipe has come out fine……just personal taste I guess……. :0)

    I made this for lunch today. The top browned nicely, and the flavor was amazing. But underneath the beautiful brown part, was a nasty 2/4 INCH layer of watery soupy mess. I ended up taking the chicken out of the water with tongs, and serving it on a plate, but the texture was weird b/c of all of that liquid. I’m wondering if I did something wrong b/c it doesn’t seem like others had this problem? I used all mayo, and followed the recipe exactly. In any case, I’ll definitely make it again, but maybe put a rack in the pyrex so that it can drain and doesn’t sit in the water?

    I used half mayo and half peppercorn ranch dressing. I also buttered my pan and cooked it uncovered for 45 minutes. Since my chicken went in frozen I covered it and baked it for another 25 minutes. It was a bit soupy but I solved that problem by adding a little more parm, shredding the chicken, and then stirring the whole mixture in with some linguine noodles. It was delicious!

    I think the longer you let the chicken sit to cool uncovered it makes the sauce thicken up a little more. But my method worked great for me, the flavor was incredible and my fiance loved it. Also very easy to make in a smaller portion for just 2. 🙂

    After reading the comments I was unclear as to whether you use frozen chicken breast (thawed of course) or fresh raw chicken breast,like cutting up your own chicken. It would make a difference because the fresh would have to bake longer or perhaps be browned first. Which do you use?

I used to cry when we left. I would suggest getting your parents on Skype, if you haven’t already. Your kids can then share everyday little things with them, which was the thing I missed out on and was sooo jealous of with my cousins who lived near by them. I do it now with my son, who have grandparents on the other side of the world! 🙂

    Okay. On a whim, I decided to make this today. Problem: I didn’t feel well yesterday, and thus did no grocery shopping. So, I used some substitutions, as I don’t shop on Sundays for religious reasons. Some of them, because I had to, and others because I thought it’d taste better, given the other substitutions. Here is what I did: 1/2 c. mayo and 1/2 c. sour cream, mixed well; 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese mixed with 1/4 c. grated Mexican cheese blend; 1.5 tsp. of fresh pesto instead of seasoning salt; 1/2 tsp white pepper; 1 tsp. garlic powder. It is in the oven now and smells delicious! I like how simple and quick it is to prepare. It barely dirties any dishes.

    I just read through all the comments. Interesting what people get stuck on. At any rate, if you are cooking it uncovered and it is getting soupy, try reducing the salt (especially if you use sea salt). Salt will pull the moisture out of meat. So, reduce your salt while cooking to make it less soupy and more tender. Also, check your Parm. Some varieties have a higher amount of salt in them. So, if yours is high in salt, use 1/2 Parmesan and 1/2 Mozzarella or other low-sodium cheese of your liking. This should resolve both the salty and soupy issues.

    10/21/12-made this tonight-quick, easy and tasty – would be great over pasta; but I served over rice and with asparagus. Note: I used about 5 oz of Greek Yogurt with honey and made up the remainder of the cup with miracle whip light -> I thought using one cup worked out great, because I spooned the extra “sauce” that formed in the pan over the chicken (which was on the rice). Very tasty – thank you!

    I am the worst speller in the entire world. I blame my problem on Catholic Elementary Schools in the 50’s. I was too social. I am fairly smart and educated though.

    Please if anyone reads blogs and has problems with spelling, get a grip on your own OCD life and get out of that tunnel world you live in.

    I’ve tried this recipe two weeks ago. And my husband liked it so much, he took a second helping. I would say it so good and tasty that 9/10 is not overrating it. Thanks for this recipe which will now be a favorite in my household.

    Great recipe, the chicken turns out really moist and flavorful. I am going to try this with the yogurt next time in place of the mayo though after it is cooked it looks really oily (I am guess due to both the parmesan and the mayo.) I imagine the yogurt will still have a touch of that, but not as much as with the mayo. Went perfect with a cesar salad and wild rice.

    My sister introduced us to this dish about 20 years ago…with variations…we use Miracle Whip, regular jarred parm cheese, and oregano. No seasoned salt. We always make double the sauce and use it for baked potatoes instead of butter. Amazing!! Had it last night and my husband and I were both like this is the greatest meal we can cook on our own!

    Just made the recipe- delicious! I used half mayo half plain Oikos greek yogurt. Very good flavor…would probably do a little less seasoned salt next time if I had to change anything. I also used chicken tenderloins- they were super moist and tender (I’m not a fan of chicken breasts). Would definitely make again!

    Tried this recipe tonight. I usually have terrible luck with Pinterest recipes but this one was a success!! So easy!!! Only used 2 chicken large chicken breasts for the hubs and me, and baked for 35 minutes. I wanted the cheese to brown a bit more, so I turned on the broiler real quick.

    Made it, family LOVED it. FYI for those who end up with it watery… Try laying tge breasts out on paper towls to soak up extra water, especially if they were previously frozen… Most grocers and packagers add water to the meat and that will come out as it cooks, causing the sauce/topping to be watery or break down like mentioned above… I had this happen the first time I made it and almost.didn’t try again… Good Luck 🙂

    My computer was out, so I made this from memory last night. The yogurt wasn’t creamy enough, so as I was drinking some wine, I mixed some of that in. I didn’t blend the cheese into the mixture, and as it turns out, that was fine. My husband doesn’t like much cheese, so I topped his with seasoned bread crumbs, I used cheese on mine. The result was really nice! The chicken was tender, not dried out, but it wasn’t saucy. I didn’t want that anyway, so I was pleased. Oh I did use fresh garlic, not powder, but I think the garlic powder would have been better. Served with peas and a baked potato (which I threw in the oven along with the chicken). I also made one separate for my daughter to have before work. This would be a great recipe for one, as well. I couldn’t care less how you spell it! Thanks!

    This recipe was amazing! Thank you for taking the time to post it. Who cares if there is a typo, or even if it was on the side of the mayo jar. I would have never seen it, since I generally do not purchase mayo. Pettiness is so unproductive. Anyhow I was bold and used frozen breast because I did not have time to defrost. I followed the recipe to the t except no salt, and I cooked it longer obviously. Half way in I drained the water at the bottom and continued cooking. It was perfect, brown and bubbly on the top. I totally get the family thing. My parents were in southamerica for most of my married life, and my
    children hardly saw them. But every time we were together it was amazing. Many blessings to you.

    I slice rings of onion and put them underneath the chicken no the chicken doesn’t sit right down in the pan. I’ve made this before and the amount of water/fat in the chicken and other ingredients will determine how ‘watery’ the end result is. I also blended lemon juice and capers into my mixture. Cooking as we speak 🙂

    I’m making this as soon as possible. I’ve enjoyed reading all the comments esp. the ones you could tell didn’t read the entire recipe. Except for the ones whose dish turned out too runny & “could you use frozen” (if you could, it probably would say so), all of the other questions were answered in the recipe. Excerpt from the bottom of the recipe——3. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. This dish is even better the next day, so just reheat in the microwave!
    **Some have commented that this dish was way too salty. Please be sure you are using fresh parmesan cheese, not the stuff from a can. Also, use seasoning salt, NOT table salt. I have made this many, many times and have never had trouble with the salt level. If you are worried, use less but please don’t make substitutes for what is written!) Thanks for the recipe & the laughs.

    Well, count me part of the watery sauce crowd, only mine was not only watery but curdled too! I used good quality Amish chicken breasts thawed that had been frozen, full fat Hellman’s mayo 1/2 and 1/2 with Fage plain non-fat Greek yogurt and a Bel Gioioso parmesan wedge that I grated with a regular grater, not a microplane. I followed the directions, cooking uncovered for 45 minutes at 375 degrees so I don’t know how I could have caused this failure…

    So disappointed,looked nothing like your picture and was pretty unappetizing. The chicken was a little tough I think from boiling in the liquid. 🙁

My boyfriend and teenaged daughter loves it but I’m disappointed it got soupy/curdled. I made sure I dried off my chicken very well. I’m wondering if I should be using full-fat yogurt? I think I’m using the right parmesan. Thanks for any tips!

        I think your fat free yogurt might be to blame Rachel. It should make a sauce when it cooks but it should not curdle. It could also be too high of a temperature so maybe your oven is running hot. Those are my two initial thoughts. Thanks

    Pammy – It is a bummer that it didn’t work for you but I’m not sure what to tell you. I make this once a month and have never had problems. When I use half yogurt and half mayo, the result is definitely more watery but still delicious. I beg that there are “all these failures” with this recipe. For every one person who has had trouble, there are 20 more who have had great success. I encourage you to give it a try again, use full mayo and watch your chicken before the 45 minutes are up. Every oven is quite different, so watch for the chicken to be just cooked and not just the time. Good luck!

    Salt level is a preference & the fact that you get lippy with your readers is a real turn off for me. I used real Parm, although NOT parmesan reggiano which, IMHO, would be a complete waste of such an expensive ingredient in this recipe. Also keep in mind that different brands of mayo, seasoned salt and parm have different salt levels. Using Hellman’s, a block of parm from the cheese department & LAWRY’S® Less Sodium Seasoned Salt I reduced the salt to 1/2 of what your recipe called for the second time I made this recipe and it was wonderful!

    Hi Carole,

    You used skinless chicken breasts, correct? And the “fresh” Parmesan cheese; is that the actual shredded cheese or is it the “fresh” grated Parmesan in a shaker container. Sounds delish. Looking forward to trying this.

    Reply
  220. Carole says

    Carina- yes, I used boneless, skinless breasts but you could easily use spit breasts as well, but I would remove the skin first. Fresh Parmesan is sold in triangles and is not yet grated. They also sell grated fresh Parmesan in small tubs but I greatly prefer the first option. I would not use the stuff in the green canisters.

    To be clear, there is liquid that forms on the bottom of the pan. That happens when you cook any meat crowded in a pan and water is released from the protein. What do you do? You eat and enjoy your dinner 🙂 There is liquid in the bottom of mine as well, but I wouldn’t say it is soupy. My kids love the liquid that forms spooned over rice.

    Wow this is my new favorite chicken recipe!! So easy and quick to make. I have made it with boneless skinless breasts but my favorite is boneless skinless thighs. They just melted in your mouth and cut with a fork. I cooked mine 50 minutes. Two thumbs up! Delicious!!!

    Made this tonight, delicious, very moist. Only 2 of us so I just used 2 chicken breast and smaller amounts of everything else. After 40 years of cooking you kind of get the hang of amounts needed. I lined my dish with parchment paper, easy clean up. Yes there was a little liquid in the bottom of the dish but so what.

I’m currently making this chicken dish and it smells sooooo good that we can’t wait for it to be done. I actually used chicken thighs that my husband debone and skinned, then he cut then in half length wise. We absolutely cannot wait for it to be done!

    To those bashing the “gramma nazis” who pointed out the spelling error in the picture: They weren’t doing it to be mean; they were doing it to be honest and helpful. It’s not like it’s an error in the main body of the text; it’s a blatant, glaring error in the only pinnable picture. The author is losing potential traffic because people like me won’t pin this. I cannot abide poor writing; it is a mark of the declining values of education, language, and intellect in our backwards society, and therefore I am legitimately turned off to this post. This picture/pin reflects poorly on the author (and, I think, it gives an inaccurate representation of the quality of her writing, which is NOT littered with misspellings). I won’t pin any picture with inaccurate spelling (the masses will never learn if we keep letting them think the wrong way is right), not to mention that I have OCD and a degree in English, so it would drive me absolutely nuts having this on one of my boards.

    To the author: I mean you no ill will, nor, I think, did anyone in the early comments I read who pointed out the error, but I, too, am turned off to this because of the misspelling in your picture. Simply put, by not fixing it, you are limiting your blog traffic. Some people are bothered by this stuff; that’s just a fact of life. You can adapt, or accept (and it appears you’ve already chosen the latter–that’s fine; it’s your choice).

    To each his own. But quit hating on those of us who would alert fellow bloggers to things that may be hindering blog growth, just because it doesn’t bother YOU. People like YOU are not the only potential readers, and nice people can care about spelling and grammar, too.

      to quote you….” Some people are bothered by this stuff; that’s just a fact of life.” Well, conversely, some people are not. Did you ever stop and think that maybe Carole doesn’t care if her recipe is “pinnable” for you? It’s a recipe not a dissertation or some fine piece of artwork that is going to adorn your “wall”. Some of my most cherished recipes are hand written…. aghast….. with spelling mistakes, notes, and wait for it…. stains from being used in the kitchen. lol. Get over your “pinnable” self. I’m sure you’re a very nice person, but what does that matter honestly? We are just here to get a decent recipe for dinner, right? Carole was right…. these comments are very entertaining. I’ve actually laughed out loud legitimately a few times. I am looking forward to trying your recipe tonight. Thanks for posting. 🙂

    Love this recipe, I was almost afraid that it would turn out slightly on the over seasoned side because silly me used thinly sliced chicken breast instead of whole breasts. I cut it down to 1tsp of seasoning salt and 1/2 tsp of the garlic powder. If you don’t like the idea of all mayo I used some cream of chicken mixed with it. AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing!

    I made this tonight and it was scrumptious! I used regular mayo and regular plain yogurt (because that’s what I had). We were out of garlic powder so I substituted three cloves fresh minced, and reduced the seasoned salt to 3/4 teaspoon. I might reduce the seasoned salt to 1/2 teaspoon next time.

    Our sauce was very thin as well, but still delicious. I wonder if subbing light cream cheese for the mayo would help, or adding a couple of tablespoons of flour or cornstarch.

    For sides I made steamed green beans and boiled, buttered red potatoes. Some of us poured the sauce over the sides and it was delicious.

    I just made this. I followed the recipe with the exception of only having 4 chicken breasts and adding 1 tbs of Dijon mustard as others suggested. I did NOT use all of the mixture because I was 2 chicken breasts short. I covered all of the meat on the top, but just a thin layer. Don’t overdo it. I must have bought some huge chicken breasts because 40 mins on 350 still wasn’t enough time. The topping was not browned like it is in the picture here. I cranked the oven to 450 and left it in there another 10 mins and that did it. I am waiting for someone to come join me for dinner but I did try a piece. Not bad for such an easy recipe. I can see how this could be really good the next day after the flavors merry.

    I made this for dinner tonight. The end result was tasty; however, I ended up cooking the chicken for about an extra fifteen-twenty minutes. Do you have any tips for spreading the chicken evenly with the mayo, cheese, salt, garlic mixture? It kept sliding all over the chicken and into the bottom of the pan. My family’s one complaint was that it was too salty; however, I did use seasoning salt. I’m thinking that I’ll just halve the amount of salt to 3/4 of a teaspoon. That said, we’re not super big on a lot of salt, so I’m chalking that down to personal preference. Definitely saving the recipe, thanks!

It does make a nice pan sauce in the bottom of the dish but if you would prefer less liquid, just use a bigger pan so the chicken breasts are not touching each other and more of that liquid will evaporate. You will need to reduce the cooking time a bit though! -Carole

        Any chance you can update the recipe with the total weight of chicken? Chicken breasts vary greatly in size and I think your readers would have a better results if they know the recommended total weight of the chicken. Mine is in the oven now, I had three 8 oz chicken breasts and also nestled broccoli florettes around the chicken an covered those with the topping as well.

    Both times I have made it there is a lot of juice from the chicken. I use Greek yogurt and it makes the yogurt running and juices just sit in the bottom of the pan. Any advice? It’s still amazing, but I think would be better if I could fix that.

    • Carole says

      July 07, 2015 at 10:26 pm

      Marisha- thanks for your question! The Greek yogurt definitely separates more than the mayo does. Maybe you can try half and half of each. Even with all mayo, there is still a pan sauce. Another option is to bake them on a cookie sheet spread out with the sauce on top of each breast by his will give room for the liquid to evaporate between the pieces of chicken. -Carole

    Okay, here are my findings: This chicken was excellent and I’ll definitely be making it again. Per suggestion in the ingredient list, I used 1/2 Greek yogurt and 1/2 mayo. Perfection. I’ll be doing that every time I make this dish. And I WILL make again.

    The only negative is the sodium content. For our tastes it was very salty. Yes, I used seasoned salt, and, Yes. I followed the recipe exactly. Some people don’t like salt as much as others might. No biggie.

    Just know going in, if you’re not a big salt fan, the combo of the Parmesan cheese (VERY salty cheese– no, I did not use the grated cheese from a can; I shredded my own from a fresh block) and the seasoned salt together make for a very high-sodium dish.

    Bottom line? Cut back on the salt if you need to, like I will, the next time I make this.

    Thank you for posting this recipe! I loved it and can’t wait to make it again. 🙂

First off, I’ve never used (hard to believe I know…) fresh Parmesan cheese and after grating some for this recipe – I’m now a huge fan! I couldn’t find seasoning salt but found a seasoning blend so I used that instead. I made the chicken for dinner and my husband pronounced it “fabulous”. I really enjoyed it too. Thanks so much for sharing! I will make it often.

    Carole – the photo makes me drool, so I’m trying this tonight. My solution for the people that complain or are worried about the salt is simple – taste it before you add the salt! There’s nothing in the sauce that is raw or shouldn’t be eaten, so simply mix it all together WITHOUT the salt and taste it. If it tastes salty enough to you then, don’t add any more. If you’d like more, then add what you think. My guy can be salt-phobic, so that’s what I plan on doing – will let you know how it turns out!

    Made this today, and although the presentation was nice and the meat moist and flavorful, it was TOO OILY! UGH! I don’t feel like I can feed this to my family. Sorry. One thing to note; I did not use any seasoned salt or regular salt; my cheese, the mayo (Duke’s mayo), garlic powder and onion powder were enough to make this plenty flavorful. I cannot imagine if I had used seasoned or regular salt.

      That’s too bad Nicole! I’m not sure quite what you mean by “too oily”. Yes, there is mayo slathered on top so fat content is higher but there shouldn’t be oil pooling in your pan or anything. Just the juices from the chicken.

    A friend posted this recipe on FB today. It looked so good I went right out to Trader Joe’s to get the ingredients (except for the “light” Mayo, TJ’s did not carry). Followed the recipe as stated, except for the following: 1/2 cup regular Best Foods mayo (I had in my frig) & the only glass pan I had was 9.5×13.5. The results: very tasty (not too salty as others have said) but the chicken was tough. Once it completed cooking, turned oven off, placed pan on top of oven & covered it gently with silver foil as I had to take my dogs out for a 15 minute walk. Could this have caused the chicken to toughen up?

    • Carole says

      November 11, 2015 at 9:56 pm

      It is possible Stephanie but more likely is just that it cooked too long or too high s temp. If you have an oven thermometer, check to be sure your oven isn’t running hotter than what you set it at. Otherwise, your chicken breasts may be smaller than mine, so just reduce your bake time by 5-10 minutes. You should always check meat for doneness instead of going by a certain time because of size variation is so great.

        Thanks. Actually my chicken breasts were pretty large. I think I just may have cooked it to long in my oven or should not have placed silver foil over it right for another 15-20 minutes after taking it out of the oven. I hate to cook so I don’t cook often. But that recipe caught my eye & it looked so easy & tasty that I thought I would treat myself to cooking for a change! It was so tasty that I think I will try it again sometime! I put it over Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic (the 90sec. micro bag kind) & it was yummy!

However, I would appreciate your thought on why chicken casseroles with creamy sauce often end up kind of watery around the meat. I tried so many recipes but the chicken and creamy sauce never really combine. The sauce stays nearly crumbled on top and the chicken looses water below. What can I try differently?

      If you don’t like the liquid, you can use the same recipe and bake the chicken on a cookie sheet instead, leaving space between each chicken breast. That space allows the liquid from the cooking chicken to evaporate. Thanks Mary!

    This recipe is a winner. My family are picky eaters. My husband doesn’t like mayo,sour cream, cream cheese or anything that has anything white creamy look to it. I was really worried at first to try this but all the comments I couldn’t help it. I didn’t tell my husband or kids what was in it and they LOVED it. My husband thought it was great, the chicken ends up with a little tangy,juicy flavor, no mayo flavor what so ever. It was quick and easy to make and the presentation when it comes out of the over is beautiful. I followed the recipe as directed. I am a mom of three, work full time and the kids all have after school activities which makes it hard for the traditional sit down dinner. This was possible with this meal. While cooking in over I was able to get other things done. I had some rice on the side and vegetable. Can’t wait to see what I can try next from here. Thanks Carol for making real recipes that busy mom’s and picky eaters will eat.

    I made this yesterday and topped it with a bit of panko breadcrumbs before baking.
    It was a bit salty for me, but I know I personally like less salt, so I will dial it down a bit the next go round. (I don’t try to make adjustments the first time unless I know what I’m doing.) This was creamy and moist and delicious, and my SO asked for the leftovers, which never happens.
    I made this with 1/2 c. mayo and 1/4 c. plain yogurt and fresh Parmesan shavings (I chopped them up a bit, but it was either that or the powdery stuff at the store.)
    I think the breading on top was a nice addition to give it just a bit of crunch, but the flavors from the recipe as is were great. I will happily make this again. Thanks for sharing, Carole!

    My husband and I love this recipe. His aunt made it over Christmas while we were visiting them in CO, and we knew we had to find the recipe right away. We have had quite a few trial and error tests. The first time, I accidentally bought regular mayo. It was good, but it was not creamy. All the oil in the mayo separated and it was essentially just seasoned chicken. I finally got to the point where I was mixing the spices, cheese and mayo in a bowl, then mixing the chicken in the same bowl so all of the chicken was coated. It turned out perfect. We use about half the amount of chicken stated because it’s just the two of us, but my husband likes it to be creamy, so I mix it with the whole recipe of mayo, cheese and spices. Tonight, however, I tried it with just Greek yogurt. It turned into a watery mess. The chicken was seasoned, and tastes fine, but there was no creamy-ness to it. Let’s just say we will stick with the light mayo. We also boil pasta and treat it like chicken parm 🙂 Thank’s for the recipe!

    This is so yummy. My grandma made it for us for several years with a recipe from the best-foods website, but hers had breadcrumbs. We are a paleo family and so nixed the breadcrumbs and use a Paleo mayo made with avocado oil https://www.amazon.com/Primal-Kitchen-Paleo-Approved-Avocado/dp/B00ZWKI0HI. It is absolutely amazing that way and no guilt from scary products normally in mayo. The recipe is similar to yours, but we don’t use the seasoning salt–instead we use Kosher Salt. She died recently, we adopted her pan that she made it in and we lovingly call it “Grandma Chicken”. This is our go to weekly dish. Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi Terra! I like to do some fresh veggies like broccoli or green beans. They go well with the creamy chicken. Or just a simple salad!

    I want to try this but would worry about it turning out soupy and I can’t afford to ruin a meal. Has anybody tried or would it be a bad idea to put bread crumbs or dry stuffing in the bottom of the pan with our under the chicken to soak some of that up if it’s an issue?

      If you are concerned Marci, make it on a large sheet pan instead of a cake pan. That extra space between the pieces of chicken will allow the liquid to evaporate instead of gather in the bottom of the pan.

    Fresh parmesan is best. The parmesan in a jar has powdered cellulose in it. The jar says no fillers and on the back of the jar it says that no fillers means only real parmesan cheese used. I prefer no the eat cellulose.

    I made this yesterday and the flavors were wonderful, but I ended up with a silty soupy mess at the bottom of the pan. I used 1/2 Hellmans mayo and 1/2 Fage 2% greek yogurt. I think I can see (from re-reading these reviews) that I should have used light mayo. But I think some of what was in the pan bottom is the same you’d get from boiling/poaching chicken – what rises to the top – little pieces of some kind of chicken residue. I think making it on a sheet pan would have all that liquid run into the oven. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here…if anyone has suggestions. My chicken breasts were from HyVee. Thank you.

      Hey there Laura! Thanks so much for your comment and question. I have two suggestions for you. First, bake this on a jelly roll pan instead of a cake pan. That will allow you to spread the pieces of chicken apart and the liquid from the chicken to escape instead of forming in the bottom of the pan. Second, use only mayo instead of 1/2 greek yogurt. That texture in the sauce you don’t care for is from the yogurt. If it bothers you, go with all mayo.

    This recipe looks awesome but I’m wondering how it would turn out if I used chicken thighs instead of breasts. We prefer thighs because it’s a more moist meat. Have you (or anybody reading here) ever tried it with thighs?

      February 23, 2017 at 7:42 pm

      I have made it with thighs Lori and it turned out fabulous. My hubby prefers thighs as well. You will need to reduce the cooking time a bit so keep an eye on it so you don’t dry out the meat.

    This is one of my all time favorite recipes. I use one cup of Greek yogurt and one cup of olive oil mayo to double the amount of sauce.My husband likes it as gravy for the mashed potatoes I serve with it. I use half of the amount of seasoned salt and shredded Parmesan cheese. It is amazing and only takes about five minutes to put together.

    I made this tonight and have tried other recipes similar to it, but this one was by far my favorite! I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, and used half regular mayo and half Greek whole milk yogurt. I was cooking for 3, so used half of all the ingredients and it was just about perfect. It was SO GOOD! I would consider this a company-worthy recipe! I served with noodles tossed with a good quality olive oil. Thank you.

    I LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it at least 2 dozen times. I use bone-in, skinless chicken breasts for flavor and so they’re not sitting in the drippings. My favorite topping is 1/2 Hellman’s full fat mayo and plain Greek yogurt – mayo for the richness, yogurt for the tang. I use Parmesan Regigiano. A good Romano or Grana Padano would also work well.
    This ends up being a reasonably healthy entree with tons of flavor!

      Hi Kelli! Since I have never tried it with sour cream, I can’t guarantee how it will turn out. I worry a bit about it getting really soupy using sour cream.
