Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

   • Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).
   • Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish to prepare for the chicken breasts.

2. Coating the Chicken

   • In a medium bowl, place the sour cream.
   • Coat all sides of the chicken breasts generously with the sour cream. This helps the potato chips stick!

3. Adding the Crunch

   • Take your crushed potato chips and season them with a sprinkle of black pepper if desired. 🌶️
   • Coat the sour cream-covered chicken breasts with the seasoned crushed potato chips. Make sure to press gently to ensure the chips adhere well.

4. Bake the Chicken

   • Place the coated chicken breasts in the greased baking dish.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to start the cooking process.
   • After 5 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
   • Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potato chip coating is golden and crispy.

5. Garlic Butter Finish

   • While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan.
   • Add the garlic powder to the melted butter, stirring to combine. 🧈✨
   • Once the chicken has baked for the specified time, increase the oven temperature back to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius).

6. Final Touch

   • Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the oven.
   • Brush each chicken breast generously with the melted butter and garlic mixture. This adds a burst of flavor and helps to crisp up the coating even more! 🌟

• Double the Batch: This recipe is easily doubled or tripled if you’re feeding a crowd. Just make sure you have enough potato chips on hand! 😉

• Serve with Dipping Sauce: For an extra touch of flavor, whip up a quick dipping sauce. A honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce would all pair wonderfully with these crispy chicken breasts.
