Description
This creamy garlic chicken dish features tender chicken breasts topped with a rich and flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pounds sour cream (room temperature)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (½ brick, room temperature)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish well with nonstick spray.
- Place raw chicken breasts into prepared baking dish. Set aside.
