Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup water
- 3 chicken breasts
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup tomatoes, sliced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is hot and ready to cook the chicken evenly.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sour cream and water. Stir them together until smooth and well-mixed. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep in mind that sour cream already has a slight saltiness, so you might not need much additional salt.
-
Prepare the Casserole Dish: Lightly spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the chicken and sauce from sticking to the dish.
-
Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared casserole dish. Arrange them so that they are spaced out evenly.
-
Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sour cream mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-covered with the creamy sauce.
-
Top with Vegetables: Sprinkle the sliced tomatoes, mushrooms, and chopped green onions on top of the chicken and sauce. These will add layers of flavor and texture to the dish.
-
Bake: Transfer the casserole dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The sauce may separate slightly around the edges, but don’t worry; simply stir it back together if needed.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve this creamy chicken dish over a bed of noodles or rice for a satisfying and hearty meal.
Enjoy the rich, creamy flavors of this easy and affordable one-dish meal, perfect for any night of the week.
