Crunchy sour cream and onion chip coated baked chicken breasts, perfect for feeding a crowd.
I know the holiday season is fast approaching, and that usually means family parties, music, and fun. But when I think family parties, music and fun, I usually think about summer!
Sure November and December have plenty of those things, but just think: summer concert series, family gatherings, BBQ’s, beach and pool days. All of those things speak to me of summer!
One of the biggest things for me when making summer fun and parties a success is the food! I absolutely love when I serve something that everyone loves from the kids to the adults. And this sour cream and onion chicken is a huge hit amongst the masses.
It is so easy to make too, baked, and easy to serve with fresh fruits, grilled corn, and of course chips! Sour cream and onion chips to be precise.
We love having friends and family over for a backyard party. We serve great food, play the music loud, dance, play, and just have a good time.
One summer we took empty chip cans and let the kids form a band. It was so fun to watch their lack of musical talent. They certainly take after me! Haha. Lucky for me, my kids don’t have to be good at playing music to enjoy it.
But let’s get back to this chicken. It is dipped in a sour cream and egg mixture, rolled in crushed sour cream and onion potato chips and baked to perfection! It is totally fun, and tastes great!
