CRISPY SOUR CREAM AND ONION CHICKEN



Crispy Sour Cream and Onion Chicken image

Picture sour cream and onion dip slathered on chicken cutlets, dredged in panko bread crumbs, and fried until crisp like a potato chip, and you'll envision this recipe. The marinade doesn't just deliver flavor here: The lactic acid in the sour cream also keeps the thin chicken breasts juicy. Shower the crispy chicken with fresh chives and lemon juice, or, if you crave something creamy for dunking, pair it with a dip of sour cream, lemon juice and chives.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally (see Tip) and pounded 1/8-inch thick, or use 4 chicken cutlets (don't split or pound)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives (or 1 tablespoon dried chives), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Canola oil, for frying
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, chives and 1 tablespoon onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat. (Chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours. Refrigerate, then let come to room temperature before cooking.)
  • In a shallow bowl or lipped plate, stir together the panko and remaining 1 tablespoon onion powder; season with salt and pepper.
  • Working one at a time, press the chicken breasts into the panko, using your fingers to pack the panko onto both sides of the chicken, and place on a large plate or a sheet pan.
  • Line a plate with paper towels. Heat 1/8-inch canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Drop a piece of panko in: If it sizzles, the oil's ready. Add a chicken cutlet (or two, if they can fit comfortably), and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding and heating more oil as needed, and removing excess panko from the pan with a slotted spoon.
  • Serve chicken with more chives and lemon wedges for squeezing.

Provided by Morgan Baker

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 1h26m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken cutlets, patted dry with a paper towel
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 lemon, zested and quartered
½ cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped chives, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh dill
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Season the chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the lemon zest, sour cream, chives, dill, and 1 tablespoon of the onion powder.
  • Add the chicken and coat well.
  • Cover and refrigerate, 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • When ready to fry the chicken, combine the panko and remaining 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Working with one chicken cutlet at a time, press the chicken into the panko mixture. Coat evenly on both sides and transfer to a sheet pan or platter.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about 1/4-inch canola oil over medium heat until the temperature reaches about 375 F.
  • Working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, lowering the heat as necessary if the chicken is becoming brown too quickly.
  • Remove and discard excess panko from the skillet with a slotted spoon between batches.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Garnish the cutlets with chives and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy and flavorful chicken, ensure the skillet is adequately heated before adding the chicken breasts. This sears the chicken, creating a golden-brown crust while preserving its tenderness.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water to form a slurry, then gradually whisk it into the skillet while stirring continuously. This will thicken the sauce without overpowering the other flavors.
  • For a tangy twist, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the sauce after adding the chicken broth. This brightens the flavor profile and balances the richness of the sour cream.
  • Experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste preferences. For a smoky flavor, add a dash of paprika or chipotle powder. If you enjoy a bit of heat, incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the skillet chicken with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all excellent accompaniments.

Conclusion:

This delectable Sour Cream and Onion Skillet Chicken is a quick, easy, and flavorful one-pan meal that is sure to please the entire family. The tender chicken, creamy sauce, and crispy onion topping combine to create a dish that is both satisfying and comforting. You can easily customize the recipe to suit your preferences, making it an excellent choice for busy weeknight dinners or casual weekend gatherings.
