Description

Sour Cream Onion Chicken is a delightful dish that combines tender chicken with a rich, creamy sauce infused with the savory flavor of onions. Each bite offers a luscious texture, complemented by a hint of tanginess from the sour cream, creating a comforting and satisfying experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Marinade:
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • Seasoning:
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Oil:
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the sour cream and onion soup mix until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Brown the chicken in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This dish can be made ahead of time; marinate the chicken the night before for enhanced flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
