Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream for creamy flavor
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese for melty texture
- 1 tbsp cornstarch for thickening
- 1 tsp dried oregano for a hint of herb flavor
- 1 tsp garlic powder for added flavor
- to taste Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast for a melty layer during baking.
- Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Allow the dish to stand for a few minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy chicken!
