Creating the Easy Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast Recipe is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps for a delightful result:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow marination for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for stronger flavor).

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and develops a lovely golden crust.

3. Prepare the Dredging Station: In a shallow dish, pour the flour and set aside. This will create a delicious crust for the chicken.

4. Coat the Chicken: Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in flour, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.

5. Melt the Butter: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Ensure the butter starts bubbling slightly but does not burn.

6. Sear the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.

7. Bake the Chicken: Once both sides are seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

8. Serve and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven, allow it to rest for a few minutes, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
