Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Baking
  1. Place the seasoned chicken in a baking dish. Pour the creamy onion sauce over the chicken, completely covering the pieces.
  2. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  3. Remove the foil and allow the chicken to brown slightly for about 5 minutes.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley, serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, marinate chicken in lemon juice and herbs before cooking. You can substitute cheddar cheese with smoky gouda for a unique twist. Make sure not to overcook the chicken.
