Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs/tenders)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet onion soup mix or homemade onion seasoning blend
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs for coating
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper or Aluminum Foil
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Large Shallow Dish
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Fork or Tongs

Method
 

  1. Prepare the chicken: If your chicken breasts are too thick, slice them horizontally into thinner pieces for even cooking. Season both sides of the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Make the sour cream mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, onion soup mix (or homemade onion seasoning blend), garlic powder, and parsley. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare the coating: In a large shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Mix them together evenly.
  4. Coat the chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the sour cream mixture, making sure it's fully coated. Then, roll it in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture until it’s fully covered.
  5. Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each chicken piece to help them crisp up in the oven.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes.
