Crispy Cheddar Chicken

By cam_46

I cut this recipe in half using 2 large chicken breasts but make no changes in the sauce...

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 2 # chicken tenders or 4 large chicken breasts
• 2 sleeves Ritz cracker
• 1/4 teas salt
• 1/8 teas pepper
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 teas dried parsley
• 1 10oz can cream of chicken soup
• 2 Tbl sour cream
• 2 T butter

Preparation

Step 1

Crush crackers. If using chicken breasts and not tenders, cut each chicken breast into 3 large pieces. Pour the milk, cheese & cracker crumbs into 3 separate small bowls. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture around to combine. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk, then the cheese pressing the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Then press the cheesy coated chicken into the cracker crumbs and press it in.
Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the pan. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake at 400F for 35 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.
In a medium sized sauce pan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with s whisk. Stir it over medium high heat till the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.
