Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions and paprika for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub olive oil over the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Add Garlic and Broth: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the sour cream, combining well. Let the mixture bubble for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Top with Cheese: Top each chicken breast with shredded Jack cheese, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of paprika before serving.
Notes
- For a variation, try using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- Serve this dish with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
