Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut to be 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 cup sour cream (I do not recommend using low fat)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half. Use a very sharp knife to cut them in half, butterfly them compltely open, and make two chicken cutlets - like very thin chicken breasts.
  • In a reusable and sealable container, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and celery salt.
  • Pat chicken dry. Add to the sour cream mixture, turning it several times to make sure it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees, and coat a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Gently remove the chicken from the sour cream mixture. Roll in the bread crumbs and place in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with each piece of chicken.
  • Pour the butter over the chicken and bake, covered, for 30 minutes or until the chicken registers 165 degrees with an instant read thermometer.
