Ingredients for Another Garlic Chicken

  • Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Garlic
  • Celery Salt
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Pepper
  • Boneless Chicken Breast Halves
  • Ritz Crackers
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Vegetable Oil

How to Make Another Garlic Chicken

  1. In a large shallow glass dish, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade.
  3. Turn chicken to ensure even coating.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Place 1 1/2 cups of crushed cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl.
  6. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and roll each piece in the cracker crumbs until fully coated.
  7. Transfer coated chicken to a greased 13x9 baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  9. Pour the butter-oil mixture evenly over the chicken. Drizzle reserved marinade over chicken for extra flavor.
  10. Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
