Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce & Toppings
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken evenly.
- Season Chicken: Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder ensuring they are well coated for flavor.
- Arrange Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a greased baking dish, spacing them evenly for consistent cooking.
- Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth, creating a creamy topping for the chicken.
- Spread Sauce: Spread the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture evenly over each chicken breast, covering the top thoroughly.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sauced chicken, which will melt and brown nicely during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish & Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and top with crumbled cooked bacon and chopped green onions for extra flavor and texture before serving.
Notes
- For serving, this dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or steamed rice to soak up the creamy sauce.
- Monterey Jack cheese can be used as a substitute if you prefer a milder cheese flavor.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
