- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Trim any excess fat if needed to ensure even cooking and a clean presentation.
- Mix the White BBQ Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended to create your luscious white BBQ sauce.
- Coat the Chicken: Generously spread the white BBQ sauce over each chicken breast, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor and creaminess.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken for a fresh aroma and lovely color contrast before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature chicken to ensure even cooking.
- Properly season both the sauce and chicken for maximum flavor.
- Check doneness with a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and maintain juiciness.
- Let cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it tender.
- Adjust sour cream or mayonnaise quantities to customize sauce thickness.
