Baked Chicken Breasts w/ Grilled Asparagus, Seasoned Potatoes, and...

Today's Menu: Baked Chicken Breasts w/ Grilled Asparagus, Seasoned Potatoes, and Whole Grain Bread


I had a package of Miller's Amish Chicken Breasts and wanted a recipe for baking them when I came across this one from http://www.makedinnereasy.com/index.html  It's called Heavenly Chicken and that's the way it came out, Heavenly! Moist and delicious, it's a really good Baked Chicken Breast recipe. I left the recipe and web site link at the end of the post.

Had sides of Grilled Asparagus and Grilled Potatoes w/ Cheese and Herb Seasoning. Both are Meijer frozen products. I also had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Heavenly Chicken
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
2 Tablespoons light olive oil
1 1/2 cups light sour cream or plain yogurt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (1 sleeve) or seasoned breadcrumbs
2 Tablespoons melted butter

Preheat the oven to 350'F. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil and spread the olive oil over the foil.

In a medium bowl or zip style bag, stir together the sour cream, salt, onion powder, and paprika. Add the chicken to this mixture and turn the chicken so that all sides are fully coated.

Place the crushed crackers or breadcrumbs in a large bowl and dredge each piece of chicken in the crumbs so that all sides are coated.

Place the coated chicken on the prepared pan, drizzle the top of each piece with melted butter.

Bake at 350'F for about 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165'F.

*  I used Italian Bread Crumbs and baked it at 375 degrees instead of 350. *
