Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups boxed stuffing mix
• 3 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken breasts in a single layer.

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season lightly with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the tops and sides of each chicken breast. Make sure each piece is fully coated.

Step 5

Place the boxed stuffing mix into a shallow dish. Press each sour cream-coated chicken breast into the stuffing mix, ensuring the top and sides are covered with a thick crust of stuffing crumbs.

Step 6

Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 7

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the tops of the crusted chicken breasts to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 8

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the stuffing crust is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
