Newsletter
Through the years our church publishes a monthly newsletter containing recipes contributed by members of the church. It’s always fun looking through the newsletter and finding the next featured recipe. Often times I would cut out a recipe and save it in my recipe box.
I wish I could give credit to whoever contributed this recipe, but alas… I didn’t clip, or write down her name.
Chicken Breast
First chicken breast is dredged and coated with a delicious mixture of sour cream and your favorite Italian seasoning. (*GF version – Daisy sour cream is gluten-free and Badia Italian Seasoning is certified to be gluten-free, Kosher, and contains no MSG – plus it has several 5-star reviews.
Topping
The original recipe calls for a topping of crushed Corn Flake cereal but I’ve adapted the recipe to be gluten-free so that my entire family can enjoy this dish.
*To make the topping gluten-free, I replaced the Corn Flakes with gluten-free Rice Chex Cereal. I also added an additional touch of fresh parsley, basil, and cilantro to the dry cereal crumbs.
Generously sprinkle the cereal mixture on top of the chicken, drizzle with melted butter and place it in a preheated 350 degrees F oven.
Bake
As the chicken begins to bake, the intoxicating aroma of warm Italian seasonings will begin to fill your home. If you are like me, you will be standing close by with a knife and fork, anxiously waiting for the chicken to be ready.
