Chicken with Sour Cream Parmesan Sauce
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as parsley, oregano, or thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Paprika for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
- Make Sour Cream Sauce: In a bowl, combine sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Coat and Bake: Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Top with a sprinkle of paprika for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain moisture. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley if desired.
Storage Tips:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- To reheat, gently cover and warm in the microwave or oven to keep the chicken moist.
