Happy Wednesday!

One bite and my husband said, "Save this forever." That was three years ago and it's still on repeat.

Mix 1 cup mayonnaise with ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread it generously over 4 boneless chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes until the top is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

Mama's Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken.

The mayo keeps it impossibly juicy. The Parmesan turns golden on top. Five ingredients and it tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.

Save this one before you forget.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹
2 cans cream of chicken
2 cans water
2 packets chicken gravy
2 packs chicken breast
Mashed potatoes(I use the ones that come in a bag and just add some butter)
1. Throw the cream of chicken, water, and chicken gravy packets into crockpot.
2. Season chicken breast with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
3. Place chicken in crockpot and let cook on low for 7-8 hours.
4. Take chicken out and pull apart with 2 forks then re add into crock pot then serve on mashed potatoes.
Rolls go great with it. There’s only 2 of us so I’ll have plenty of leftovers but there’s definitely enough to feed at least 5 people or feed you for multiple days.
Enjoy ā¤
