I think we all need more easy, quick and yummy dinner recipes and so I have my favorite one for you today! I have loved this Herb Crusted Chicken for years. This recipe comes from the Pen Court from BYU campus. It’s a restaurant run by the students in the Dietetic Program, open just for lunch. Their food is amazing and I really miss it! My sister first introduced me to this place when I was a freshman in college then later on my husband worked there as a cashier when we were dating. So whenever I make this dish I have many fond memories.

This dish is super easy! All you do is marinate the chicken in sour cream and a few spices. Then coat it in breadcrumbs, drizzle a little butter over it and bake it! The flavor in the breading is to-die-for! I just love it! And you can even freeze it too! You just freeze the chicken breasts coated in the sour cream/spice mixture then when you want to bake it just pull it out, let it thaw and bread the chicken breast. I’ve done it before and it’s great!
