Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the sour cream with the onion soup mix until well combined to form a creamy sauce.
  3. Prepare Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Brown Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet and brown them for about 3-4 minutes on each side to lock in flavor and texture.
  5. Assemble in Baking Dish: Transfer the browned chicken breasts into a baking dish and evenly pour the sour cream and onion mixture over the top of the chicken.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream mixture to add a rich, cheesy finish.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the Sour Cream Onion Chicken hot for a delicious and comforting meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, high-quality chicken breasts.
  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sour cream mixture.
  • Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
