  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of excess fat

Sauce

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  3. Mix Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, and 1 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese until well blended to create a flavorful creamy sauce.
  4. Arrange Chicken & Add Sauce: Place the trimmed chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.
  5. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Broil for Browning: Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully, until the Parmesan topping is lightly browned and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and tender.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and texture.
  • You can serve this chicken with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a thicker topping, add a little more Parmesan cheese to the sour cream mixture.
  • To reduce fat, use a low-fat sour cream alternative.
