Ingredients
 

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt for a healthier option
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs such as thyme, oregano, or parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Chicken:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • If the chicken breasts are very thick, pound them to even thickness with a meat mallet for even cooking. Place the chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.

Mix the Topping:

  • In a bowl, combine the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Apply the Mixture:

  • Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Ensure all parts of the chicken are covered.

Season:

  • Sprinkle a little paprika over the top for added color and flavor.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Broil (Optional):

  • For a more golden and crispy top, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.

Serve:

  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
