Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.

Coat each chicken breast generously with the sour cream mixture and place them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the chicken breasts, ensuring an even layer for a golden crust.

Step 7

Bake the chicken, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

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