Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each breast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Lightly coat the chicken breasts with the all-purpose flour on both sides, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.

Step 5

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the sour cream and Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth and well combined. Let the sauce cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of each piece.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your choice of sides.
