Ingredients
1/2 Cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1/4 Cup lemon juice
1/2 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Teaspoon celery seed
1/2 Teaspoon paprika
2-3 Cloves fresh minced garlic (or more if desired)
1/2 Teaspoon salt (optional)
Black pepper
4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 Cups fine dry breadcrumb (make sure to only use DRY breadcrumbs)
1 Teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
Method
1. In a very large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients; mix well.
2. wash and pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
3. Place the breasts in the mixture; turn to coat evenly, (make sure that each piece is completely coated with sour cream mixture).
4. Cover, and refrigerate overnight in the refrigerator (not more than 24 hours).
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade; coat each piece with the dry bread crumbs, that have been mixed with 1 tsp seasoning salt (if using).
6. Arrange on a foil-lined greased baking sheet (don’t overcrowd the pieces).
7. Bake, uncovered in a PREHEATED 400 degree oven, for 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear– DELICIOUS!
8. Note: make sure that the oven is properly preheated to 400 degrees, and is very hot, this will make for a crisp coating and a moist chicken breast, remember– DRY breadcrumbs only!
I served mine with nice big mixed salad and garlic mayonnaise to dip the chicken into.
