Notes
For extra cheesy flavor, feel free to double the Parmesan or add another cheese like mozzarella. If adding cheese on top, wait until the end of baking to avoid burning.
Full-fat sour cream is best for cooking, but light sour cream will work in a pinch.
You can assemble the dish ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking. Add 5–10 minutes to the baking time if starting from cold.
Frozen chicken breast is fine to use, but make sure it’s fully thawed first. Excess moisture from thawing can cause the sour cream topping to slide off.
