How to Make Baked Sesame Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse chicken breasts and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of sherry.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the oil and sherry mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup of crushed saltine crackers, 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt (if using unsalted crackers).
  6. Spread 1/4 cup of sour cream evenly over each chicken breast.
  7. Press the chicken breasts into the cracker crumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  8. Place the coated chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
