In a generous bowl, start by mixing the sour cream with the crushed garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste, being careful to mix the ingredients well to achieve a homogeneous composition. This sauce will add a delicious flavor to the dish, so set it aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and become more intense. Now it's time to deal with the chicken breast. Carefully wash the meat under a stream of cold water and then dry it with absorbent towels to ensure there is no excess moisture. Cut the chicken breast into large fillets, about 4-5 pieces, depending on your preferences. Sprinkle each piece with a little salt and pepper, making sure to evenly coat all sides. After seasoning the meat, dip each fillet into the prepared sour cream mixture, ensuring it is completely covered with the creamy and fragrant sauce. Prepare a heat-resistant dish that you grease with a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking. Place the chicken fillets in the dish in a single layer, so they cook evenly. It is important that the pieces of meat do not overlap to allow for proper browning. After placing the meat, pour the remaining sour cream sauce over the top, so that each piece benefits from the delicious flavors. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle grated cheese on top, which will add a golden and crispy crust. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the dish with the chicken inside. Cook for 45-50 minutes or until the meat is properly cooked and has a nicely browned crust. It is important to check that the chicken is well cooked and that the juices run clear. Once ready, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish is perfect to be served warm, alongside your favorite side dish and a fresh salad full of vitamins. However, do not underestimate the cold version, which remains just as tasty and flavorful, making it ideal for a quick lunch or a light dinner. Enjoy every bite of this delicious baked chicken breast, which will surely become a favorite recipe in your family!
