WHAT IS SOUR CREAM? IS IT HEALTHY?
Sour cream is made by adding lactic-acid producing bacteria to cream, which sours and thickens the cream. I personally love the tangy taste, but it’s also a good addition to a healthy diet. Not only is it a source of healthy fats, but it contains protein and a number of important nutrients as well.


Ingredients:


  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 slices mozzarella
  • 1 cup Hood sour cream
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan, freshly grated, divided
