Ingredients

For about 6 servings:

• 1 cup sour cream

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided (1 cup for mixing, ½ cup for topping)

• 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts, trimmed and patted dry

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly spray (or line) a 9×13‑inch baking dish with non‑stick cooking spray.

2. Mix the coating: In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, garlic powder, seasoned salt, pepper, and 1 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.

3. Arrange chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they don't overlap.

4. Apply the mixture: Spread the sour cream‑Parmesan mixture evenly across all chicken breasts, fully coating each piece.

5. Add topping: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Parmesan cheese over the coated chicken for a golden, cheesy finish.

6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165 °F (check with a meat thermometer).

7. (Optional) Broil for 2–3 minutes if desired to achieve a beautifully golden and slightly crisp top.
