Chicken breast with cheese and sour cream

First, salt and pepper the chicken breasts using one of your favourite seasoning techniques. Personally, I always rinse them in water before salting and peppering them, so that the salt and pepper stick to them better.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the chicken breasts. Fry them over a medium heat on both sides until golden brown. It is important not to overcook or the meat will be dry.

While the meat is cooking, mix the sour cream and grated cheese in a bowl. I always add a little more salt and pepper here to give it more character.

When both sides of the chicken breast are nicely cooked, coat with the sour cream and cheese mixture. I usually use a spoon to spoon the mixture over the chicken to spread it evenly.

Place the pan in the oven and bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and golden brown.

Serve the chicken breast with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley. I usually make a vegetable side dish, but it's also delicious with rice and pasta.
