Indulge in the irresistible flavors of Mustard Baked Sour Cream Chicken II, a recipe that elevates simple chicken breasts into a savory masterpiece.

Ready in under an hour and perfect for busy weeknights, serve this baked chicken alongside roasted vegetables or fluffy rice and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a stunning finish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit the chicken breasts in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in the prepared baking dish and coat each piece thoroughly with the sour cream-mustard mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until the texture resembles damp sand.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, pressing gently to help it adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the breadcrumb topping is golden and crispy.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables or rice.
