Four skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt
Parmesan cheese, half a cup grated
For a more decadent taste, add 1/4 cup of shredded Asiago cheese.
1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder.
3/4 teaspoon of paprika that has been smoked
For a tangier kick, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
1 teaspoon of freshly grated lemon zest (for a zesty, citrusy kick)
fresh, chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
To brush the chicken, use 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
For an optional crunch, you may add 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs.
Here are the steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Preheat a baking pan or line it with parchment paper and lightly oil it.

To get the chicken ready, use paper towels to pat dry the breasts. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides. For better taste and browning, brush a little olive oil over each piece.

To make the topping, mix together the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, Asiago cheese, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and half of the chopped parsley in a medium-sized bowl. Thoroughly blend all ingredients.

Coat the Chicken: Divide the yogurt mixture among the chicken breasts and spread it out evenly. To add a crispy finish to the yogurt mixture, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top.

Cook: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake coated chicken breasts for 25 to 30 minutes, or until meat is opaque throughout and top is browned. Use a thin layer of aluminum foil to gently cover the dish if the topping is browning too rapidly.

After taking the chicken out of the oven, let it aside for a few minutes to rest before garnishing. Serve with a garnish of the remaining chopped parsley.

As a side dish, you may have roasted veggies, salad, or garlic mashed potatoes with the chicken.

Notes: The dish’s signature taste characteristic is achieved by using Asiago cheese and lemon zest.

For those who want a more textural topping, Panko breadcrumbs provide a delightful crunch.

The mild sourness of the dijon mustard cuts through the cheesiness and acidity of the yogurt and cheese.

The traditional “Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chicken” recipe is about to get a modern makeover.

Crispy Baked Potato Wedges with Smoky Chipotle Ketchup are a perfect snack, side dish, or party appetizer. These wedges are seasoned to perfection with a blend of spices and baked until crispy, served with a smoky and spicy chipotle ketchup that will keep you coming back for more.

Total Preparation Time: 45-50 minutes

Ingredients:
3-4 medium-sized Russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
For the Smoky Chipotle Ketchup:

1 cup ketchup
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely minced

Directions:

1. Prep the Potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Cut the potatoes in half, then each half into quarters, aiming for 8 wedges per potato. Rinse the potato wedges under cold water, then dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Ensuring they are dry is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.

2. Seasoning:

Toss the dried potato wedges in a large bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Baking:

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the potato wedges in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded (use two trays if necessary). Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

4. Prepare the Smoky Chipotle Ketchup:

While the potatoes are baking, mix the ketchup and minced chipotle pepper in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of chipotle based on your preference for heat.

5. Serving:

Serve the hot, crispy potato wedges with the smoky chipotle ketchup for dipping. Enjoy as a delicious snack, a side dish, or even as a party appetizer.

Serving Suggestions:
Pair with a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
Serve alongside grilled meats or burgers for a hearty dinner.
Enjoy with a variety of dipping sauces for a fun appetizer platter.
Cooking Tips:
For extra crispy wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning.
Ensure the potato wedges are spread out on the baking sheet to allow for even cooking and crispiness.
Use parchment paper instead of foil for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Nutritional Benefits:
Potatoes are a good source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber.
Baking instead of frying reduces the fat content, making these wedges a healthier option.
The chipotle pepper adds a dose of capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

Serves: 8+ people
Ingredients:
