How to Make Opulent Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Clean and skin 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Place them in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Completely cover the chicken breasts with 8 oz of sliced cheese (e.g., provolone, Monterey Jack).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 8 oz sour cream, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the cheese-covered chicken, ensuring it's completely coated.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup cracker crumbs (about 8 crackers) with 4 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the sauce.
  7. Bake uncovered for 2 ½ hours (150 minutes), or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
