Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning optional for extra flavor

Method
 

Preheat the Oven:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Prepare the Creamy Topping:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and ranch seasoning.
  2. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Coat the Chicken:
  1. Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  2. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each piece, making sure to coat them completely.
Bake the Chicken:
  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve & Enjoy:
  1. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.
  3. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For Extra Crispiness: Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking to achieve a golden-brown top.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave in short intervals.
  • Make It Keto-Friendly: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and serve with steamed vegetables instead of starches.
  • Add Some Spice: Mix in red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper for a slight kick.
