Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded Jack cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rub olive oil over the chicken breasts and season them with salt and pepper.

Notes
Feel free to substitute the chicken with turkey for a leaner version, or use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthy twist.
