Sour Cream Chicken

This week is crazy with it being the week before Christmas. We are heading to Houston on Thursday and the last thing I wanted to do this week was make a mess in the kitchen every night. So I decided to make a really easy dish that can be easily cleaned up and makes enough for leftovers. I found this recipe and it seemed easy and got great reviews.
I really need to get back to using cookbooks some for recipes one of these days...I just love the convenience of online recipes and love reading the reviews. One day.

Here is what you'll need:
-2 pounds chicken breasts or tenders
-1 1/2 cups of Pepperidge Farm Herbed Stuffing, the crumbles not the cubes (of course I bought cubes on accident, but I just crumbled them)
-1 cup sour cream
-kosher salt
-freshly ground pepper
-garlic powder
-1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay the chicken close together on a foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Coat with a thick layer of sour cream. Top that with the seasoned Pepperidge Farm breadcrumbs and then dot with the butter. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 35 minutes for chicken tenders or up to an hour for chicken breasts. Its ready when the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are nicely browned.

It was really good and the husband approved! I served it with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. We will be having leftovers tonight too.

Here is a quick tip for easy mashed potatoes. Let's be honest, sometimes you need a break from the healthy brown rice and need some potatoes in your life.

I buy this bag in the frozen potato section:
As much as I would love to peel and chop a bunch of potatoes, I would rather take an easier route. All you do is put the bag in the microwave for 10 minutes and then you can add whatever you want to them like you would your normal mashed potatoes. They taste just as if you slaved away in the kitchen on them. Try them out!


And stay tuned for some crafty posts soon. Gotta give the gifts away first before I can blog about them :)
