"I serve this tender chicken with rice and green beans cooked in chicken broth," writes Suzanne Zick of Osceola, Arkansas. Its rich crispy coating is golden and nicely seasoned with garlic, celery salt and paprika.

Ingredients

2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons celery salt

This was very good. Next time I will cut the celery salt way down, I thought there was too much.

This is very tasty! I made half the recipe using three 6-oz. pieces, Ritz crackers, and olive oil. I baked the chix for 45 min.; next time I'll try it at 35 min. -Lori in WI.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! I teach a basic cooking class and used this recipe and there was nothing left. Also, I made this recipe for friends and they took the little bit of leftovers home with them. Great recipe!
