Ingredients

2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup hot water
10 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 bone-in chicken breast halves
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
SOUR CREAM MUSHROOM SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. For stuffing, combine the bread crumbs, water, 2 tablespoons butter, onion, parsley, salt, poultry seasoning and pepper. Place about 1/3 cup stuffing under the skin of each chicken breast; secure with toothpicks. In a shallow bowl, combine flour and paprika; coat chicken. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Drizzle with remaining butter.

Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 170°, 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Meanwhile, for sauce, heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion, cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Whisk in cream until blended; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Reduce heat; add sour cream. Stir just until heated through; do not boil. Serve with chicken.
