Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Place the chicken in the baking dish in a single layer.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and onion powder until smooth and creamy.
Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken, covering each piece completely.

Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
