Description

A comforting and easy bake featuring creamy sour cream and melty cheeses over tender chicken, perfect for weeknight meals.


Ingredients

  • 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
  • to taste Salt and black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  3. Combine 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
  4. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
  5. Spread the sour cream mixture over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, check the chicken at about 50 minutes if your breasts are small. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy.
