Ingredients Method Notes

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 to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth.
  4. Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast.
  5. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  2. Allow the dish to stand for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. Pairs well with rice or mashed potatoes. Adjust seasonings based on preference.
