Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts; 1/2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs; 1/2 cups Italian Breadcrumbs; 1/2 cubes Beef Bouillon, Crushed To Powder; 1 teaspoon Dried Minced Onion; 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder; 1 teaspoon Salt; 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper; 1 cup Sour Cream; 1 stick Butter

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 375 F.
2
Butter a 13x9 glass baking dish.
3
Other dishes would work just as well, just not one smaller than 13x9 as I barely fit my chicken in this size of pan.
4
Melt the rest of the butter and set aside.
5
Slice your chicken breasts in half lengthwise, so you have 8 roughly even pieces of chicken.
6
Mix together all of the dry ingredients (both breadcrumbs, bouillon powder, salt, minced onion, garlic powder, black pepper) in a wide bowl or on a plate.
7
A hint?
8
You may substitute one or two teaspoons of a Liptons Beefy Onion Soup Mix packet for the spices, so you would simply use the breadcrumbs and the packet.
9
Its so easy!
10
But if youre a spice purist, by all means use the spices.
11
Coat each piece of chicken in sour cream thoroughly.
12
Dredge the chicken piece through the breadcrumb mix, coating it completely.
13
Place the coated piece in the baking dish, and repeat with the rest.
14
I have to really jig-saw my chicken pieces into my baking dish.
15
If you have a larger pan, you might want to use it.
16
I dont have a larger pan, so I make do.
17
I just arrange them until they fit and there is about 1/2 inch of space between each one.
18
Once all of the chicken is in the pan, drizzle the melted butter over each piece of chicken as evenly as possible.
19
You dont need to be super precise.
20
Bake the chicken for 45-50 minutes at 375 degrees, uncovered, and if youd like to brown it a little more, you can broil it for 2-4 minutes at the end.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
