A comforting dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in tangy sour cream and two kinds of cheese, perfect for weeknights or entertaining guests.

  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well-blended.
  4. Place one slice of mozzarella cheese over each chicken breast.
  5. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top.
  6. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C) and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use similar-sized chicken breasts for even cooking. If breasts are thick, consider lightly pounding to uniform thickness. Stir sauce well to avoid lumps and switch to broil for extra browning if desired.
