Notes

  • Try to find chicken breasts that are all the same size and thickness, so they cook evenly.
  • If your chicken breasts are too thick, you can pound them lightly with a mallet or heavy skillet before adding the sour cream mixture and Ritz crackers.
  • Don’t overbake! The chicken should be cooked through, but it shouldn’t get dry.
  • When you take the Heavenly Chicken out of the oven, let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow for maximum flavor.
