Gluten Free Parmesan Chicken Recipe

I recently saw a recipe for Parmesan Chicken using Hellman’s mayonnaise that reminded me of something that my mom made for me as a child. It used simple ingredients, but I needed to change it up slightly to make it gluten free. While the original recipe featured mayonnaise, my mom often used sour cream as we had it on hand. To make my gluten free version, I swapped out the bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese with herbs. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out, but the empty plates and empty pan spoke for themselves. It was a hit!

Gluten Free Parmesan Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp diced chives (dry or fresh)
• 4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin or cut thin)
• 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 – 1/2 tsp garlic powder (depending on your tastes)
• 1 tsp herbs (your choice; I used parsley & cilantro this time)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Prepare baking sheet – line with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray. (I like parchment paper for easy clean-up.)
3. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, shredded Parmesan cheese, and chives. Set aside.
4. In a different small bowl, mix together grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and herbs. Set aside.
5. Pat chicken breast dry and place on prepared baking sheet.
6. Top the chicken breasts with sour cream mixture.
7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese mixture over the sour cream mixture.
8. Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts) or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.*
9. If desired, place under broiler for roughly a minute to allow the cheese to brown and bubble a little.
10. Allow chicken to rest a few minutes before you serve. *This allows the chicken’s internal temperature to reach desired temperature of 165 degrees as it continues to cook for a little while after you remove it from the oven.
11. Serve with your favorite sides.
