- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika if using. Arrange in the prepared baking dish.
