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.

Categories     weekday, poultry, main course

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.

From the Knorr website. Flavorful, moist and delicious. Dec. 2007 NOTE: I could not find the Knorr soup mix, so I had to use Lipton Onion Soup Mix which was a bit salty and overpowering. If you use Lipton, I recommend using just a half a package of the soup mix.

Provided by Dannell M

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 c butter, melted
1/2 tsp oregano, dried
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp whole grain mustard
1 large french fried onions package
6 chicken thighs, skinless or 4 boneless skinless breasts.

Steps:

  • 1. In a small wide mouth bowl, combine butter, worcestershire sauce and mustard. Crush the fried onions into a separate bowl. (This will be your breading)
  • 2. Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat with onions. Prepare a baking dish with olive oil (I use a cast iron skillet); Put the coated chicken pieces into the skillet and drizzle the remaining butter over the chicken.
  • 3. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs: This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and quickly.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips: This will help the chicken to crisp up more easily and evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to add flavor and moisture to the chicken.
  • Coat the chicken in cornstarch: This will help the chicken to crisp up and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow you to cook the chicken in a single layer, which will help it to crisp up evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the chicken to brown and crisp up quickly.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Stir the chicken frequently: This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Crispy onion chicken is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Crispy onion chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful sauce, then coated in cornstarch and fried until crispy. The crispy onion topping adds a delicious crunch and flavor to the dish. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
