▢ 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts The star of our show! They cook quickly and soak up the sauce beautifully.
▢ 1 cup sour cream Usually full-fat variety for better flavor.
▢ 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Split between mixing in and the topping.
▢ 4 slices mozzarella cheese For oozing cheesy goodness.
▢ 1 tbsp cornstarch Thickens the sauce.
▢ 1 tsp dried oregano Adds depth and complexity.
▢ 1 tsp garlic powder Can substitute with fresh garlic for more flavor.
▢ to taste salt and black pepper Essential for flavor.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts in the greased baking dish in a single layer.
In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Place one slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.

For best results, don't rush the browning, use fresh ingredients, and consider adding veggies for extra nutrients.
