Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1½ cups sour cream (full-fat)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Season both sides of chicken breasts with this mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onions to the same skillet and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in sour cream until smooth. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Return chicken to the skillet, nestling pieces into the sauce. Spoon sauce over chicken and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
