I am late to the party for so many things. I have recently discovered Game of Thrones. I am officially hooked and incapable of doing much else until I finish one more episode of Season 1 and finish all of Season 2. I even went so far as to bring my iPad to the gym today and watched an episode while I ran on the treadmill. I will say that it may have been helpful because I kept running long after my distance was covered, I didn’t want to just stand there on a treadmill and not move. But I couldn’t leave without knowing how the episode ended. Maybe I am on to something. Hmmm…
I found a recipe similar to this one on from The Enchanted Cook ( I am sure that you have seen it floating around Pinterest), but I do not eat mayo, so I made mine with sour cream and added fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon zest. I have made this chicken so many times in the last few months. It is ridiculously easy, and while not the most attractive thing that I make, it tastes amazing. Everyone at my table loves this chicken recipe and it is a keeper. You do not need anything more than a side of veggies or a simple salad.
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup sour cream
1 clove minced garlic
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons Borsari salt (or 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper)
1 Tablespoon chopped chives
2 Tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup panko crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Mix together sour cream, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, chives, and parsley in a small bowl.
Mix the panko crumbs into the sour cream mixture.
Spread the sour cream over the top of the chicken breasts.
Cover with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through, and the cheese is golden brown.

I am Bree. I love to cook. Even more than I love to take pictures.
Such a great recipe for those busy days, Bree! Gorgeous!

thank you Robyn, I have been making this a lot lately for that reason exactly!
I love making chicken this way. On the rare occasion I have TollHouse crackers in my pantry, I’ll use them rather than panko and that buttery taste really makes it taste so good!

Yum! What is a tollhouse cracker? Like a Ritz? That would be so good. So would a Saltine come to think of it… thanks for the good idea.
Townhouse, my Siri must recognize that I type Tollhouse more often
I use Ritz a lot for the butteriness, but find the Townhouse has the right salt/butter combo.
Ha! That is funny.
I have not had this in years. My stepmother use to make something very similar but she used a packet of dry Italian salad dressing, and it came out a bit saucy. It was fantastic. I like how your recipe has a golden crust on top. I am going to have to make this!!

Her version sounds delicious! I have been making this a lot lately because it is so easy. You can change it up a million ways too.

I have made this same recipe with fish and substituted the mayo/sour cream with Greek yogurt. Really good.
that is a great idea to use fish, especially with Lent starting today.
Can you put in crockpot?
I don’t think so. Sour cream will curdle.
My husband recently came home from a meeting with our dairy company manager with a CARTON of cartons of garlic sour cream!! (an embarrasment of riches!) so Im scouring the net for recipes that use savory sour cream – this sounds delicious. Cant wait to give it a try using thighs (cos thats whats in the freezer
)
A good problem to have. Try my ranch dressing recipe too. Garlic sour cream would work really well.
