Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each chicken breast into 2 or 3 large chunks.

In a food processor combine the Ritz crackers, grated cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to form crumbs.

In a shallow dish, stir together the beaten eggs and milk. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg/milk mixture, then in the cracker crumb mixture, pressing the crumbs on to coat well.

Place the coated chicken in a 9x13 pan coated with cooking spray. Spray the top of the chicken with a thin, even layer of cooking spray. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.


For the sauce: In a medium sized sauce pan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk. Stir it over medium high heat until the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.
