Party Chicken
Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest 10 minutes. Top with more chives.
Ingredients :
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking dish
- 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp. thinly sliced chives, plus more for serving
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 cup finely shredded cheddar
Directions :
- Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. Lightly grease a 13" x 9" baking dish with oil.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tbsp. oil. Add panko and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, and mustard; season with salt and pepper.
- Pat chicken dry. Sprinkle with paprika; season all over with salt and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into mayo mixture, coating both sides, then transfer to prepared dish. Spoon any remaining mayo mixture over top.
- Add cheddar to panko; season with pepper and stir to combine. Top chicken with panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
- Bake chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165° and topping is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
