Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish and season both sides with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs to the melted butter and stir until all the breadcrumbs are coated.
Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the sour cream mixture in the baking dish.
If desired, sprinkle paprika on top of the breadcrumbs for added color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and crisp.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
