This cheesy sour cream chicken is one of those comforting recipes that never goes out of style.
It comes together quickly with simple ingredients, making it perfect for busy days, and it freezes beautifully so you can always have a homemade meal ready for later.
This dish is especially close to my heart — my mom used to make it for me and my sister when we were growing up, and it’s the kind of food that instantly brings back that feeling of being home.
Simple, comforting, and timeless, this is a recipe worth passing on.

Instructions
Generously grease a non-stick baking dish.
I usually use either my Pyrex glass dish or one of my Dutch ovens.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the dish.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 25–30 minutes.
Once the time is up, remove the dish from the oven, take off the foil, and pierce the chicken with a fork to check that it’s fully cooked.
If it is, carefully pour off most of the liquid released by the chicken, leaving just a small amount in the bottom of the dish.
Spread the sour cream evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle with the grated cheese.
Return to the oven until the cheese melts on top.
You can leave it in a bit longer if you like the cheese lightly browned — it’s really a matter of personal preference.
