Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions and paprika for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub olive oil over chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side).
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and let simmer while scraping the pan.
  4. Stir in sour cream until well combined, allowing the mixture to bubble for about 5 minutes.
  5. Top each chicken breast with shredded Jack cheese and transfer to the oven. Bake for around 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions and paprika before serving.

Notes

Make sure to sear the chicken well for added flavor and a nice crust. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and seasoning based on your taste. For a spicy kick, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
