Description
Tender chicken breasts baked in a creamy sour cream sauce, topped with mozzarella and Parmesan for a bubbly, golden, and comforting dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 medium chicken breasts (similar size and thickness)
- 1 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred, low-fat or Greek yogurt optional)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer. If thick, pound or butterfly for even cooking.
- In a bowl, whisk sour cream, half the Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and cornstarch/flour (if using) until smooth.
- Top each chicken breast with mozzarella cheese.
- Spoon creamy sauce over and around chicken, then sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
- Bake 25–35 minutes (up to 1 hour for thicker chicken) until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and top is bubbly and golden.
Notes
- Butterfly or pound chicken for faster, even cooking.
- Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a tangier flavor.
- Best eaten fresh—sour cream sauce may separate if frozen.
- Reheat gently to keep chicken moist.
