Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy mixture.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, ensuring they are generously coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over the chicken, pressing gently to help them adhere to the coating.

Step 6

Lightly drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumbs or spray with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 7

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve your Heavenly Chicken garnished with additional parsley, if desired, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
