Baked to perfection and finished under the broiler for a golden, slightly crispy top, this dish is simple to prepare and perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of excess fat

Seasoning & Cream Mixture

  • 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 (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking and set aside.
  3. Mix Sour Cream Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, and 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.
  4. Assemble Chicken: Arrange the trimmed boneless chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese on top.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  6. Broil for Finish: Switch your oven to broil and position the dish under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown and crisp the top layer of cheese for added texture and flavor.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve the chicken immediately while hot and tender.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting and flavor.
  • You can substitute seasoned salt with a mixture of salt, paprika, and onion powder if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken breasts in the sour cream mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
