How to Make Chicken Breasts With Sour Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme.
  3. Season both sides of 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with salt and pepper.
  4. Dredge chicken breasts in the spice mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Lightly dust the chicken with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
  6. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
  9. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Do not cover.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Remove skillet from oven and set chicken aside on a hot serving platter.
  12. Increase heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 3 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  13. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  14. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  15. Pour sauce over chicken breasts and serve immediately with boiled baby potatoes.
