Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Bake
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 lbs total)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for tang and protein)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (Ritz or similar) Panko or crushed saltines work
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter For mixing with crackers
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 or similarly sized baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared dish in a single layer. Season each lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the soup mixture over the chicken, spreading it to coat the tops.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the sauced chicken.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  7. Press the cracker mixture evenly over the cheese to form the topping.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden brown.
  2. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving so juices redistribute and the topping firms slightly.
