This Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast is tender and flavorful, topped with a creamy sour cream and Parmesan mixture that forms a golden crust. It’s an easy creamy chicken recipe perfect for a one dish chicken dinner or comfort food chicken recipes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts trimmed of excess fat about 6–8 ounces each

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic powder, seasoned salt, pepper, and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese mixing until smooth.
  3. Arrange the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  4. Spread the sour cream mixture over the chicken breasts covering them completely from edge to edge.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Thicker breasts may need an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Switch the oven to broil and place the pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the top is lightly golden brown watching carefully.
  8. Serve immediately while the topping is bubbly.

Notes

  • Sour cream alternatives: Can substitute with plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • Cheese options: Can use Gruyere extra sharp cheddar or Asiago instead of Parmesan
  • Seasoning variations: Add cumin for Tex-Mex flavor basil or Italian seasoning for Italian flair or smoked paprika and cayenne for a spicy kick
  • Cooking time varies based on chicken breast thickness
  • For even cooking pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness
  • Don’t worry about liquid in the pan – it’s natural chicken juices that can be drained before or after broiling
  • Can prepare up to the baking step the day before – cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake adding 5 minutes to baking time
