Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 1/4 cup sour cream
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano. This step helps to add flavor to the chicken.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese all the components should be thoroughly combined. This mixture will serve as the creamy topping for the chicken.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
- Spoon the mayonnaise mixture over the top of each chicken breast, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the mayonnaise mixture. The combination of Parmesan and mozzarella creates a cheesy and gooey topping.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- After the chicken has finished cooking, take it out of the oven and give it some time to rest. This allows the flavors to settle and the chicken to become more tender.
- For an optional finishing touch, garnish the dish with some fresh parsley. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the final presentation.
- To serve, slice the chicken into portions. Each serving size is approximately one slice.
