Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat from chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, sour cream, pressed garlic, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan until smooth.
Place chicken in a baking dish and spread the creamy mixture evenly over each breast.
Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little fresh parsley or Italian herbs on top before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
