Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream adds creaminess and moisture
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish
Optional
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to brighten the dish

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper to an even thickness of about half an inch.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow to soak in for about 10 minutes while preheating the oven.
  3. Combine sour cream, lemon juice, and fresh herbs in a mixing bowl. Mix until creamy and smooth.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Reduce heat to low and pour the sour cream mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
  6. Bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Allow chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving with fresh herbs.
