Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.
Spread the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the sauce.
In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with olive oil to coat them lightly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the cheese layer for a crispy topping.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
