Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. (The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage.)

Step 4

Place the seared chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.

Step 6

Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the creamy mixture.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and bubbly. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

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

Step 12

Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 13

Serve Encore Chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
