    In our house we usually have a lot of chicken in our dishes because it's cost-effective, not too expensive compared to beef. So I am always on the lookout or have new ideas on how we can use our chicken, like this delicious sour cream chicken.

    We used to eat a lot of pork, but the prices of pork have really shot-up by a lot. Kind of surprising to me.

    I have never had sour cream on my chicken before, so the very first time I made it I really did not know how it would be. It actually adds a lot of flavor to the chicken and keeps it moist while you are baking it. Now I have never tried cooking the chicken with sour cream on the stove-top before.

    Let me know if you try it, please! Not sure how the sour cream would hold up with you flipping it to cook on the other side.

    I think I have mentioned this before, in this mouthwatering mustard-chicken thighs, where I purchase almost all of our chicken from - Zaycon. Good price and the quality is amazing.

    I really recommend you trying this delicious chicken recipe because it's so good. We paired it with orzo pasta, but it would be great with tex-mex themed side dish because of the cilantro and lime flavors.

    For this recipe, I covered it completely until the 15 minutes before the timer went off. It really helped to keep the moisture in because chicken can sometimes dry out some in the oven.
