Ingredients
- 3 Cups Broccoli Floretes
- 4 Chicken Breasts (medium thickness)
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish.

- Spoon the sour cream evenly over each piece of chicken, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon. Add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
