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
• 0 as needed olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, combine the sour cream, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a seasoned coating.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, whisk the eggs together until fully beaten.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil or cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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!
