Description

A creamy, cheesy chicken dish baked under a tangy sour cream-Parmesan sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared dish and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper until smooth.
  4. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast.
  5. Spoon the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top.
  7. Bake for about 60 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is golden and bubbly. (Check thin breasts at 40-45 minutes.)
  8. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a flavor boost, consider pairing with spicy seasonings or serving with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
