Italian Crusted Chicken

Anyone who knows me, knows I rarely eat chicken. There is nothing I hate more than biting into a dry chicken breast and hearing my teeth squeak while I chew. So finally I broke down and asked a friend (who eats primarily chicken) what her go-to recipe was. Turns out it was pretty good and easy to make!

Ingredients

Two chicken breast, trimmed (I try to get ones that are on the thinner side)
1/4 to 1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/4 to 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Sprinkle of Italian seasoned panko bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat over to 350 degrees
  2. I always rinse my chicken breast and let them air dry or pat them dry with a paper towel, this is optional
  3. Sprinkle chicken breast with salt and pepper
  4. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream and parmesan to make a paste (feel free to adjust the amounts of either to suit your taste)
  5. Spread a layer (thick or thin) of the sour cream paste over the chicken breast
  6. Sprinkle panko bread crumbs in a thin layer over the top of the sour cream paste
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the internal temp reach 165 degrees (I always use a Meat Thermometer to check because I’m leery of rare chicken but also don’t want to over cook it).
