Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and half of the garlic powder and onion powder.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden but not fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, remaining garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, and chopped parsley. Mix well to form a creamy sauce.

Step 6

Spread a generous layer of the cheesy sour cream mixture over the top of each chicken breast.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon additional sauce around the edges if desired.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired and serve hot. Enjoy alongside rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad!
