Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the seasoned chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- Add the Swiss cheese: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Make the creamy sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and grated Parmesan cheese. Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken and Swiss cheese.
- Add breadcrumbs (optional): If you want a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the sauce-covered chicken for added texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. If using breadcrumbs, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp the top.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
