Stir until well blended.
- Place the chicken breasts in a glass 9×13 pan and coat them evenly with the sour cream mixture. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8-12 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse and tenderize the chicken.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is preheating, prepare a 15×10 jelly roll pan or a large cookie sheet by spraying it with cooking spray.
-
Bread the Chicken:
- Once marinated, remove the chicken breasts from the refrigerator. In a shallow dish, spread out the breadcrumbs.
- Take each chicken breast and coat it generously with the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
-
Bake the Chicken:
- Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared jelly roll pan or cookie sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
- Drizzle half of the melted margarine over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The chicken should start to turn golden brown.
-
Final Touch:
- After 30 minutes of baking, remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the remaining melted margarine over the chicken breasts.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve hot alongside your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
