A delightful and creamy baked chicken dish with a cheesy garlic sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Use a dish that comfortably fits the chicken without overcrowding.
Season the chicken breasts with seasoning salt and black pepper.
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for better flavor adherence.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides.
Browning adds a delicious crust and seals in the juices.
In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, grated Parmesan, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix until smooth for a consistent sauce texture.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Spread the sauce evenly for uniform flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Check the chicken's internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
Serve the baked chicken over cooked rice and garnish with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
