Chopped parsley, for garnish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake, uncovered, for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot
