Cheesy crispiness outside, moist and tender inside. Then the sauce takes this dish to a whole other level! Pairs well with a mushroom risotto and french style green beans.

  2. cornstarch
  3. 1 box(2 sleeves) Ritz crackers
  4. 1/4 tspsalt
  5. 1/4 tsppepper
  6. 1/2 cupwhole milk
  7. 3 cupcheddar cheese, grated
  8. 1 tspdried parsley
  9. sauce
  10. 1 can(10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  11. 2 tbspsour cream
  12. 2 tbspbutter

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Crush crackers.

  2. 2

    If using breasts, cut each into 3 large pieces, I used tenders. Salt & pepper as desired.

  3. 3

    Pour milk, cheese and crackers into 3 separate small bowls for dipping.

  4. 4

    Toss tenders in cornstarch until well coated. Then dip each piece of chicken into the milk and then cheese.

  5. 5

    Press into chicken with your fingers. Then press into crackers and press in.

  6. 6

    Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and lay the chicken in pan. Sprinkle dried parsley over chicken.

  7. 7

    Cover with foil and bake at 400° for 35 minutes.

  8. 8

    Remove foil, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of chicken are golden brown and crispy

  9. 9

    In a medium size sauce pan combine the cream or chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk.

  10. 10

    Stir it over medium heat until heated through. Serve over the chicken.

  11. 11

    NOTE: Save the remaining milk you dip the chicken in. I used the remainder (with the little bit of cornstarch that came off in the milk) and added it to my sauce when it was simmering and cooked it out. I hate throwing anything away if I can avoid it. I also used any remaining cheese and cracker crumbs and sprinkled them on top before baking. As you can see I made a double batch for my big crew) but I only added milk, cheese & crackers as I needed while coating so I wouldn't end up with a lot of unused ingredients. Enjoy!
