Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken Breast with Corn
For Bodybuilders and Dieters
Cheesy sour cream toppings are not just for “lángos” (a deep-fried dough in Hungary – A classic lángos is topped with sour cream, garlic butter and lots of shredded cheese) Roasted chicken also pairs perfectly with a creamy cheese-and-sour-cream coating, enhanced even further with sweet corn. The Hungarian flavors blend subtly with Italian herbs, creating a delicious meal that is guaranteed to brighten your day. Thanks to its high protein content, this dish is recommended for both bodybuilders and people on a diet.

- Place the prepared chicken breasts into an ovenproof dish and pre-bake at 200°C (392°F) until they develop a golden-brown color. Turn them once during baking.
- Mix the sour cream with crushed garlic and dried basil, then spread it over the roasted chicken slices. Sprinkle with sweet corn, place a slice of ham on each piece, and top with grated cheese.
- Place into a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) and bake for 30 minutes.
- Steam the bulgur as a side dish.
