Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken

Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

4 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

to taste Salt and black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
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 and well-blended.
Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast for a melty layer during baking.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
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.
Allow the dish to stand for a few minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy chicken!
