Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup sour cream

½ cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon paprika

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

      Sear the chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Create the creamy sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the sour cream and cream cheese. Stir until blended and creamy.

          Add flavor: Stir in the mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, and paprika. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

            Combine chicken and sauce: Place the chicken back in the skillet, turning them to coat in the creamy sauce.

              Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

                Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the chicken on a platter, spooning additional creamy sauce over the top, and garnish with more parsley for a fresh pop of color. Accompany with a side of garlic bread or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
