Pour This One Creamy Mixture Over Chicken Breasts for an Easy Oven Meal That’s Shockingly Craveable

There’s something magical about a recipe that feels indulgent but takes almost no effort. This creamy baked chicken dish is exactly that. With just one rich, flavorful mixture poured over tender chicken breasts, you can transform simple ingredients into a bubbling, golden, comfort-filled meal straight from the oven.

It’s the kind of dinner that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen—but really, you only needed a bowl, a baking dish, and a handful of pantry staples.

Let’s walk through it step by step.

Why This Recipe Works So Well

The secret is the creamy topping. As it bakes, it:

• Keeps the chicken moist and tender
• Infuses it with savory flavor
• Creates a velvety sauce you can spoon over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes
• Forms a lightly golden top that’s irresistible

No complicated prep. No stovetop cooking first. Just mix, pour, and bake.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika

For the creamy mixture:

• 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra cheesiness)

Optional garnish:

• Fresh parsley, chopped

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better.

Season both sides with:

• Salt
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Paprika

Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Make sure they’re not overlapping for even cooking.
