Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken Recipe

This family friendly Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken dish is quick, easy, and delicious! There’s only ten minutes of prep time and then the oven takes care of the rest!

Sour cream is made by adding lactic-acid producing bacteria to cream, which sours and thickens the cream. I personally love the tangy taste, but it’s also a good addition to a healthy diet. Not only is it a source of healthy fats, but it contains protein and a number of important nutrients as well.

This recipe is about as easy as they come. Get started by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Coat a rectangular baking dish with a little olive oil so the chicken doesn’t stick. Then mix your sour cream with a half cup of Parmesan, salt and pepper, oregano and basil, garlic powder and corn starch (to thicken it up a little bit) together.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 slices mozzarella
  • 1 cup Hood sour cream
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan, freshly grated, divided
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
  • Parsley, chopped, for garnish
