How to Make Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single, even layer.

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.

Generously place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each piece of chicken.

Evenly spread the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken and top with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Bake for about 60 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is golden.

Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.
