Description
This easy baked chicken dinner features tender, seasoned chicken breasts smothered in creamy sour cream and melted cheddar-mozzarella cheese. Comfort food made simple!
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce & Topping:
1 cup sour cream
1 pinch garlic powder and paprika (for sauce mix)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Season both sides of chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the chicken in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix sour cream with a pinch of paprika and garlic powder. Spread evenly over the chicken.
Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella over the top.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C) and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
Add crumbled bacon or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
Stir Dijon mustard into sour cream for a tangy twist.
Use pepper jack cheese or red pepper flakes for spice.
Substitute plain Greek yogurt for a tangier, high-protein version.
