Cheesy Provolone Baked Chicken
Cheesy Provolone Baked Chicken: Juicy chicken breasts topped with creamy provolone, parmesan, and a rich sauce. A simple yet flavorful dinner option.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spraying it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the Chicken
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer within the baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle half of this seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken.
Layer with Provolone Cheese
- Place two slices of provolone cheese over each chicken breast, ensuring the surface is fully covered.
Create the Creamy Topping
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, grated parmesan cheese, and the remaining seasoning mix. Stir until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the provolone-topped chicken breasts, ensuring full coverage.
Bake the Chicken
- Transfer the baking dish to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). The creamy topping should be golden and bubbling.
Rest and Serve
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. Serve warm, paired with your choice of side dishes.
