Description
A cheesy, savory dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in a creamy Parmesan cheese sauce, baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts (of about 6 ounces each)
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If necessary, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and coat them generously with the creamy sauce.
- Drizzle with olive oil to ensure a golden finish.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with garlic bread and a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. Allowing the chicken to rest after baking helps keep it juicy.
