Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Look for fresh, high-quality chicken breasts.
  • 1 cup shredded Jack cheese Feel free to experiment with other cheeses.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth Opt for low-sodium to control saltiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes for each side.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for a few moments, scraping any brown bits from the pan.
  4. Stir in the sour cream and let bubble gently for about 5 minutes.
  5. Top each chicken breast with shredded Jack cheese, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
  6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and paprika before serving.

Notes

Chicken can be marinated in broth and garlic for enhanced flavor. Consider variations with plant-based substitutions or add spice for a kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
