Baked Sour Cream Chicken
Description
This straightforward baked chicken recipe starts by flattening chicken breasts to even thickness for uniform cooking. The chicken is placed in a greased baking dish and spread with a layer of sour cream, which adds moisture and a slight tang. A crumb topping composed of Italian seasoned bread crumbs, Italian herbs, salt, and coarse black pepper is mixed and evenly sprinkled over the sour cream layer, creating a seasoning crust.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes, the coating crisps slightly, and the sour cream keeps the chicken juicy. The combination of herbs and breadcrumbs delivers subtle Italian-inspired flavors without requiring a marinade or sauce. This method yields a tender chicken entree with a creamy base and crunchy herb topping.
The recipe is concise and convenient, suitable for a weeknight meal served with vegetables, rice, or salad. It requires minimal preparation and uses common pantry ingredients for its flavorful coating. The sour cream layer distinguishes this dish by contributing moisture and slight richness.
