Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
We take products according to the list. We will need half a boneless chicken breast (this will reduce the calorie content of the dish) or one chicken fillet. It is desirable that the meat is fresh and not previously frozen by any method. Therefore, ask in stores for the so-called “chilled water”. Fresh meat will make the dish much tastier and healthier.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse and dry the chicken breast, rub it with turmeric and place in a small baking dish greased with sunflower oil. Let it sit for 20 minutes and marinate.

Step 3

Step 3
Prepare sour cream filling. To do this, mix sour cream with salt and nutmeg. You can add dried herbs to taste — dill, thyme. Peel the garlic and pass it through a press or grate it on a fine grater and also add it to the sauce. Mix everything well until smooth. The sauce is ready.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour the sour cream sauce over the meat, making sure that the pouring completely covers it — this is necessary so that it remains juicy during the baking process.

Step 5

Now letʼs see how to bake chicken breasts in sour cream in the oven. And we will bake in two stages. To begin, place the pan with the chicken in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for 40 minutes.
