Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Sauce

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken after searing.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Heat Oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering and ready for searing.
  4. Sear Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, creating a flavorful crust.
  5. Mix Sour Cream: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the sour cream, onion soup mix, and garlic powder until smooth and well blended.
  6. Coat Chicken: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish. Spread the sour cream and onion mixture evenly over the top of the chicken pieces.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked.
  8. Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top to add freshness and color.
  9. Serve: Slice the chicken if desired and serve warm, paired with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Patting the chicken dry before seasoning helps achieve a better sear.
  • Searing the chicken before baking locks in juices and adds color and flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
