This sounds so great - yet so simple. Going to take others ideas of adding to the sour cream. Cheetos has a crunch Cheddar & Jalapeno bag - (not chips themselves, but crunchies)... Going to try crunching some of those in the sour cream. Little heat - and a lot of cheddar. Next week's menu - for sure...

Wonderful, everyone loved it. I marinated overnight in soy garlic and paprika. Made my crust with sour cream and cheddar potato chips, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. I used 3/4 stick with 4 breasts. YUM

The ORIGINAL recipe from back in the 70s goes like this and is way better than the new versions. Add 1/2 tablespoon of Lawry's seasoning salt to the sour cream (this ups the flavor to a whole other level). Crush Ritz crackers very fine, then melt a 1 cube of butter (do not reduce the amount). Pour the butter in the bottom of the baking dish. This amount of butter and method is really important because it allows the butter while baking to come up the sides of the chicken and create a coating that is soft and yummy. If you reduce the amount of butter, what you'll get is a crunchy topping, which is still okay, but not as great as the original recipe. Kind of like comparing Kentucky's original recipe to their crunchy style. One added note, DO NOT cover with foil as the foil will trap the heat and melt the coating right off your chicken and ruin it. It will be a waste of ingredients and money and you cannot salvage the dish. Enjoy!

Great recipe, easy and pretty quick. Reduce butter and add seasoning of your choice. I added garlic and shredded parmesan plus I had club crackers on hand which I prefer to Ritz. Not a big fan of cooking chicken but this was super easy and tasty.

Very easy recipe. My husband in gluten intolerant so instead of Ritz crackers I used a combination of crushed corn flakes and dehydrated potato flakes. It was quite good.

Great easy recipe. I too reduced butter, plus I was only making a single serving so a full stick would have been overkill. Love how simple it was and how delicious it tasted. Plus I had everything needed already in my kitchen! Thanks!

Nice! I did the same thing except I marinated it with jamaican jerk sauce and put peppers and onions in the pan and didn't put any ritz crackers or sour cream. The cooking time and butter helped though!
