Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and half of the garlic powder and onion powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden but not fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, remaining garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, and chopped parsley. Mix well to form a creamy sauce.
Spread a generous layer of the cheesy sour cream mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon additional sauce around the edges if desired.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired and serve hot. Enjoy alongside rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad!
