Crispy Cheddar Chicken - Real Recipes from Mums

Something different but always a favourite

Ingredients (serves 6)

4 large chicken breasts
2 sleeves ritz crackers
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoons pepper
1/2 cup milk
3 cups cheddar cheese grated
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Method

Sauce: 1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup 2 tablespoon sour cream 2 tablespoon butter Crush crackers. If using chicken breasts and not tenders, cut each chicken breast into 3 large pieces. Pour the milk, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small pans. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture around to combine. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and then the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Then press the cheesy coated chicken into the cracker crumbs and press it in.
Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the pan. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken. Cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the tin 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 a whisk. Stir it over medium high heat until the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.

I love Ritz crackers so it’s interesting that these are used in the recipe as they would definitely make them more Crispy.

In the method you describe a sauce from cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter but don’t have these ingredients in your ingredients list.

  I was just about to start cooking this and came across the same thing. The ingredients list really needs updating.

This sounds like a chicken schnitzel but so much simpler to make. Can’t wait

I sometimes use cornflakes for a similar recipie when u don’t have bread crumbs, but this is an excellent idea with the crackers
