A nice twist on a normal chicken breast dinner, I served it with zucchini and couscous. It can easily be modified to fit your taste or doubled to make additional servings.
Kalee ClaypoolIngredients
- 2 pieces, thin sliced Chicken breast
- 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs

- 3-4 tbsp Bacon bits
- 2-3 tbsp Sour cream

- To taste Garlic powder
- To taste Onion powder

Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°
- 2Season both sides of each piece of chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
- 3In a small bowl add 2-3 tbsp sour cream and about 1tsp ranch seasoning. Add more to taste if desired
- 4In a separate bowl add 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 3-4 tbsp bacon bits (more if desired, use real bacon bits, imitation bacon bits or chopped bacon you cooked yourself. Whichever you prefer), season to taste with garlic powder, onion powder or more ranch seasoning. Add a drizzle of olive oil and mix together. It should have a lightly moist but crumbly texture.

Quick Tips

Don't Skip the Rest
Let chicken rest 5 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
- 3
Use a Meat Thermometer
Internal temp of 165°F means perfectly cooked chicken every time.
