This Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken is a creamy, oven-baked dish featuring juicy chicken breasts under a rich sour cream sauce, topped with melted mozzarella and Parmesan for a golden, bubbly finish.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer in the dish.
  3. In a bowl, mix sour cream, ½ cup Parmesan, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese over each chicken breast.
  5. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
  6. Bake for 60 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs after baking.
  • Can be assembled ahead and stored in fridge before baking.
  • Swap in chicken thighs for a juicier variation.
  • Great served with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
