Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish and season both sides with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended.
Step 4
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered.
Step 5
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs to the melted butter and stir until all the breadcrumbs are coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the sour cream mixture in the baking dish.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle paprika on top of the breadcrumbs for added color and flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and crisp.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
