Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken – Creamy, Baked Comfort Food Classic

  • Author: twiza amys

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing dish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Mix the Creamy Topping

In a bowl, combine sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken

Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast.

Step 5: Add Cheese Topping

Sprinkle remaining cheddar and Parmesan cheese evenly on top.

Step 6: Bake

Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7: Broil (Optional)

For a golden crust, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking.

Step 8: Rest and Serve

 

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature sour cream for easier mixing.

  • Pound chicken evenly for consistent cooking.

  • Avoid overbaking to keep chicken tender.

 

  • Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt.
