- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- 2. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them at the bottom of the baking dish.
- 3. Create the Stuffing Mixture: In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix, chicken broth, and sour cream. Mix until well combined; it should be moist but not soupy.

- 5. Add Butter and Seasoning: Drizzle melted butter mixed with garlic powder over the cheese layer.
- 6. Bake It All Together: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and looks golden brown.
- 7. Serve: Let it rest for a few minutes before serving hot, drizzled with any leftover sauce from the pan.
