Smothered Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken

 Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped green onions or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Prepare the Chicken:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Prepare the Sour Cream Mixture:

In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Assemble the Dish:

Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
Bake the Chicken:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking to achieve a golden, crispy topping.
Serve:

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
