Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Stir until well blended.

Step 4

Spread the soup and sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the chicken and soup mixture, followed by the mozzarella cheese.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. Pair with rice, pasta, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
