Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream for creamy flavor
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese for melty texture
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch for thickening
  • 1 tsp dried oregano for a hint of herb flavor
  • 1 tsp garlic powder for added flavor
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast.
  5. Spread the sour cream mixture over each chicken breast, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 60 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is golden.
  2. Allow to stand for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice or your favorite seasoning before cooking. You can add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.
