Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease an 8-inch square baking dish to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Season the Chicken: Generously season the boneless chicken breasts with seasoned salt and black pepper, followed by coating them evenly in flour for a light crust.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip the floured chicken breasts in the beaten egg, ensuring they are fully coated, and then roll them in breadcrumbs for an extra crunch.
- Brown the Chicken: In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, carefully add the chicken breasts and brown them on both sides until golden.
- Assemble in the Dish: Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking dish and set aside.
- Make the Blue Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, and minced garlic. Mix until well blended.
- Top the Chicken: Pour the creamy blue cheese mixture over the chicken breasts in the baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure each piece is coated.
- Bake: Cover the dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
