There is nothing better than a sour cream and onion dip. Turning it into a chicken dinner is even better.
This delicious main course wraps boneless chicken breasts in a crunchy, crispy coating. The chicken is marinated in a sour cream mixture to tenderize the meat and add the flavor of everyone’s favorite dip. Panko adds the crunch. We’ve included a sour cream sauce to serve on the side.
Notes & Tips
- You can marinate the chicken for up to one night in advance before frying.
- Use a meat thermometer to know when your chicken is done and avoid overcooking.
- Boneless chicken thighs make a great substitute for chicken breasts. Their greater fat content makes them less likely to dry out during cooking.
- No panko? Use plain bread crumbs, crushed cornflakes or crushed fried onions instead.
- To make as an appetizer, cut the chicken into strips before marinating and frying. They’ll be ready quicker, too.
