Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking dish.
- Stir together melted butter and salt in a bowl.
- Arrange chicken in the prepared baking dish. Brush butter mixture onto chicken until thoroughly coated, pouring any extra over chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.
- Replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Prevent dryness by not overcooking—check doneness with a thermometer.
- Cheese topping may clump if not evenly distributed or if baked too long.
