Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 large chicken breasts (approximately 2–3 pounds)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Creamy Topping

  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese

Breadcrumb Topping

  • ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Garnish (optional)

  • Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prep chicken: Trim the chicken breasts. If they are very thick, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. This helps them cook evenly and faster.
  2. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter and set it aside.
  3. Season chicken: Lightly season all sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your taste. Place them carefully in the greased baking dish, making sure not to stack or overlap the pieces.
  4. Add creamy topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and freshly shredded parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over each chicken breast in the baking dish.
  5. Add breadcrumbs: In a separate small bowl, combine the Italian breadcrumbs and melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle and crumble this mixture evenly over the creamy topping on the chicken breasts.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve the chicken warm alongside your favorite sides.

Notes

  • If the chicken breasts are particularly thick, slicing them thinly ensures even cooking.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter option.
  • Freshly shredding your parmesan cheese provides better melting and flavor compared to pre-grated cheese.
  • Ensure not to overcrowd the baking dish so the chicken cooks evenly and gets topped properly.
  • Serve with a simple green salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
