  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  2. Mix the sour cream: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, onion soup mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese if using.
  3. Layer the mixture: Spread a thin layer of the mixture on the bottom of the baking dish. Place the chicken breasts on top and spread the remaining sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken.
