Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups crispy fried onions
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- as needed olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Place the crispy fried onions in a zip-top bag and crush them into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish and set aside.
In another shallow dish, combine the sour cream, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a seasoned coating.
In a third shallow dish, whisk the eggs together until fully beaten.
Lightly coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured chicken into the seasoned sour cream mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Next, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, followed by the crushed onion crumbs. Press the onion crumbs onto the chicken to adhere firmly and create an even coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil or cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Moist N Crispy Onion Chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad!
