- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 680 g total
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 120 g mayonnaise
- 120 g sour cream
- 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 30 g shredded mozzarella cheese, optional
- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Lightly grease a 23 × 33 cm baking dish.
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry. If they are very thick, gently pound them to an even thickness.
- Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Arrange the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the topping: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and black pepper until smooth.
- Spread the creamy mixture generously over the top of each chicken breast.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella, if using.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C and the topping is golden and bubbly.
- For a more golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is pounded to an even thickness for even cooking.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- For a lighter version, consider using low-fat mayonnaise and sour cream.
