Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  9. Bake the Chicken
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  11. For a golden, bubbly topping, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes.
  12. Serve and Enjoy
  13. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

    • Chicken Size: If your chicken breasts are very thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness for even cooking.
    • Customizable Seasoning: Feel free to add lemon zest, cayenne pepper, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
    • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
    • Freezing Tip: Assemble the dish, cover tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and bake when ready.
