  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place in baking dish.

3. In a bowl, mix sour cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

4. Spread sour cream mixture evenly over chicken.

5. Top with shredded cheese.

6. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally and cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden top, if desired.

8. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a protein boost.

Great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed broccoli.

Make ahead: assemble and refrigerate up to 1 day before baking.
