You guys, if you make anything from my site, please let it be this melt in your mouth parmesan crusted chicken recipe. It is so easy and so good and your family will eat it without complaints! You can serve this chicken recipe on a busy Monday night or to picky guests at a dinner party. It is one of those types of meals that can be dressed up or down and served for entertaining.

How to make the parmesan topping?
When making this melt in your mouth parmesan chicken recipe, you need sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and shredded parmesan cheese. Get freshly shredded or shred yourself, do not use the powdered stuff! If you have an adversion to mayonnaise, you can leave it out, but it does help to balance the tang of the sour cream or yogurt. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and shredded parmesan. Coat the chicken then top with more shredded parmesan! Such simple ingredients, but so much flavor!
Baked chicken tenders can be so boring, but this recipe is anything but. I never ever looked forward to chicken night until I started making this easy chicken dinner recipe! I love to serve it with rice and roasted broccoli or cauliflower, but it would be good with baked potatoes or skillet fried potatoes as well!
