Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the greased baking dish, spread out evenly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese, fully covering them.
  5. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken and cheese, ensuring it's generously coated.
  6. Carefully place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is golden brown.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
