Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 large Chicken Breasts Boneless, skinless (approx. 225g each)
  • 1.5 cups Sour Cream Full-fat (360ml)
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded (115g)
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (14g)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil (15ml)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder (3g)
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder (3g)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Finely chopped (8g)
  • 0.5 tsp Kosher Salt Plus more to taste
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper Freshly cracked

Equipment

  • 1 White oval ceramic baking dish
  • 1 Heavy-bottomed Skillet
  • 1 Silicone Whisk

Method
 

Preparation and Searing
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms. Remove chicken from skillet.
Sauce Creation and Assembly
  1. Reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk in sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk for 2 minutes until glossy and thick, scraping up any pan bits.
  2. Place seared chicken in a white oval ceramic baking dish. Pour the glossy sauce over the breasts. Top evenly with shredded mozzarella.
The Final Broil
  1. Place dish under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the mozzarella is bubbly and features distinct golden-brown toasted spots.
  2. Remove from oven and immediately scatter finely chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve warm.

Notes

Always use full-fat sour cream to ensure a glossy, thick sauce that won't separate under heat.
For the best toasted cheese spots, use the middle-to-high oven rack during the broiling phase.
