Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces raw boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a dark metal baking pan.
  2. Arrange the raw boneless skinless chicken breasts in a single layer in the pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the dry onion soup mix, sour cream, chicken broth, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
  4. Spoon the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, covering the tops as much as possible.
Cooking
  1. Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbly around the edges.
  2. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, then spoon some of the pan sauce over each portion.

Notes

For additional flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before baking. You can mix in some grated cheese into the sauce for a cheesy twist. If you like a bit of spice, add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mixture. Once cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven or microwave until warmed through. This dish can be frozen for up to 2 months.
