Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Step 3: Make the Sour Cream Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Step 4: Assemble the Dish
- Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.
- Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, cheesy delight!
