Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Seasoning Blend:
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Binding/Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of non-stick spray.
- In a shallow mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, creating a fragrant seasoning mixture.
- Pat chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels to ensure optimal coating adhesion.
- Generously coat each chicken breast with sour cream, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Roll the sour cream-covered chicken in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere thoroughly.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, maintaining a single layer without overcrowding.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the breaded chicken, which will help create a golden, crispy exterior.
- Pour chicken broth around the chicken pieces to maintain moisture during baking.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of each chicken breast for added richness and flavor.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and appears golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Use room temperature sour cream to help breadcrumbs stick more effectively and create a smoother coating.
- Pat chicken breasts extremely dry with paper towels to guarantee maximum crispiness and prevent soggy breading.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap traditional breadcrumbs with ground almond meal or gluten-free panko crumbs for equally crunchy texture.
- Experiment with herb variations like thyme or rosemary to personalize the seasoning blend and enhance overall flavor profile.
