  • 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts trimmed
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese reserve ½ cup for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish and set aside.

  • Arrange chicken breasts in the baking dish. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
  • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F.

Notes

Try mayo instead of sour cream for extra richness. Add smoked paprika or Italian herbs for a flavor twist. Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave they stay just as tasty!
