Ingredients
- 4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
3. Assemble the Dish: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and top each one with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
4. Add the Sauce: Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely coated. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the dish uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden brown.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish the Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve it alongside your favorite sides, such as rice or mashed potatoes.
Notes
To keep the chicken breasts moist and tender, avoid overcooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While mozzarella is the classic choice, you can experiment with other melty cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for a spicier twist.
