Chef-Boy-I-Be-Illinois' Baked Chicken Parmesan
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 34 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided use
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 34 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
- olive oil flavored cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Whisk together the sour cream, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce and anchovy paste in a wide, shallow bowl (a pie plate works perfectly).
- The mixture will be quite thick, but that helps it adhere to the chicken and for the crumbs to adhere as well.
- Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and oregano in another wide shallow bowl.
- Season both sides of breasts with remaining salt and pepper.
- Coat both sides of each breast first in the sour cream mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture.
- Place on a wire rack that is over a foil lined baking sheet that will accommodate the size of your rack.
- Spray both sides of each breast with olive oil cooking spray.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 450F until coating is nicely browned, then turn down to 400F and continue baking for approximately 30 minutes until a meat thermometer registers 165F.
- You can use the time your chicken is baking to make some polenta to go along with it, and maybe some nice cauliflower gratin Recipe #360354.
