Author Notes
This a multi-generational, Italian family recipe if ever there was one. Aunt Chris is 93 and no longer able to make it, but when she could, it was served at many special occasions.
Simple and rustic, this impresses at an elegant dinner party too. This chicken is so tender and delish because it's marinated in lemon and sourcream over night. Later, it's rolled in bread crumbs, covered in butter and baked to perfection. It is great to make for a large dinner party because you can prepare ahead and just bake before your guests arrive. It is soooo tasty.
Easily multiplied and adaptable. Make extra because there will be none left over. —JulieBee
