Heavenly Chicken

This chicken goes by a lot of names, but we chose Heavenly Chicken because it's just so perfect! Super moist and tender thanks to the sour cream, and loaded with rich, buttery flavor thanks to the butter drizzle and crispy Ritz crackers.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ½ cups crushed Ritz crackers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  3. Add the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to a shallow dish and stir well to combine.
  4. Add the Ritz crackers to a second shallow dish.
  5. Dredge each piece of chicken first in the sour cream and then the cracker crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to coat.
  6. Place chicken in prepared baking dish and drizzle with the melted butter.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.
  8. Let chicken rest for 3-4 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs may also be used, if preferred. 
  • Ritz crackers are already quite salty, so we don't add salt to this dish. Feel free to add it, if you feel like it's needed. 
  • Ritz crackers can be substituted for bread crumbs. If using plain unseasoned bread crumbs you'll want to add 1 teaspoon of salt to bread crumbs.
