Anyone who knows me, knows that I *LOVE* Pinterest. At times, I am obsessed. I found this recipe on their a few months back called "OMG Chicken". The recipe can be found here at The Enchanted Cook. The recipe was super good, and super easy. I shared the recipe with my mom, and she was obsessed with it too, passing it on to my uncle. (My uncle suggested we serve it INSTEAD of turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Which is ALRIGHT by me).
Basically, you just smear sour cream/mayo/ or yogurt on top of one side, cover with bread crumbs, back and Viola...OMG chicken.
As great as the recipe is in original form, I love to play around and experiment. I am still teaching myself to cook, and learn new recipes, but often I like to try variations of recipes I already love.
In this version, I swapped the sour cream for veggie cream cheese. As the cream cheese didn't spread as easy as the mayo, I scooped a big spoonful in a bowl, softened it in the microwave and heated for about 15 seconds, I mixed in a bit of Adobe seasoning (my roommate got me hooked) some cilantro and smeared it on the chicken. Next, I crushed up some tomato basil wheat thins and used that in place of the bread crumbs.
As I was cooking for one, (only one chicken breast) I only baked it for 25 minutes at 425. It comes out so delicious and juicy!
It would have been better, had I added some potato or vegetable on the side, but when I get home from work at 9 pm, I am often not in the mood to cook an elaborate meal.
