Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 lb sour cream
  • 150 - 200 gr grated cheese you can use mozzarella cheese, monterey jack or whatever is your favourite one (if you want it really cheese, you can use ½ lb )

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.
