Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt for a healthier option
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried herbs such as thyme, oregano, or parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for sprinkling

Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Chicken:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If the chicken breasts are very thick, pound them to even thickness with a meat mallet for even cooking. Place the chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.

Mix the Topping:

In a bowl, combine the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Apply the Mixture:

Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Ensure all parts of the chicken are covered.

Season:

Sprinkle a little paprika over the top for added color and flavor.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Broil (Optional):

For a more golden and crispy top, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.

Serve:

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
