Ingredients for Another Sour Cream Chicken

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Frozen Broccoli
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make Another Sour Cream Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon paprika and cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them well in the onion mixture.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a shallow baking dish.
  8. Spoon the remaining onion mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  9. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
  11. Arrange 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets and steamed until tender-crisp, on top and around the chicken.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
  13. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  14. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  15. Broil on low for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
