Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sour cream with lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, garlic salt, pepper, paprika, and herb dressing mix to create the marinade.
- Dip each chicken breast into the sour cream mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Roll the coated chicken breasts in the Herb Dressing Mix to evenly cover.

- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier marinade, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. You can also add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra flavor boost. If you want a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is patted dry before dipping to help the marinade stick better.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. Serve it alongside rice or quinoa to soak up the creamy sauce. For a delightful twist, try it with a side of Potatoes Delicious for a comforting combination that complements the chicken perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain the chicken's moisture and flavor.
