  • Calories: 447 per serving

Ingredients:

  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, black pepper, lemon juice, and minced garlic. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
