Crispy Cheddar Chicken

 

       For the Chicken:

        2 large chicken breasts

        1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, ground

        1/4 c. of milk

        1 pinch of salt

        1 pinch of pepper

        1 1/2 c. of grated, cheddar cheese

        1 t. of basil

       For the Sauce:

        1 can of cream of chicken soup

        2 T. of sour cream

        2 T. of butter

DIRECTIONS:  Preheat over to 400 degrees. Cut each chicken breast into 3 equal-sized pieces. Place the milk, cheese and Ritz crumbs into three separate bowls. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the Ritz crumbs and combine. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk, then the cheese, then the Ritz crumbs.

 

Place chicken into a greased, 9x9 baking dish. Sprinkle the basil over the chicken. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Chicken should be golden brown and crispy.

 

In a medium saucepan, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter. Sitr over medium high heat until hot. Serve the sauce over the chicken.

 

M and I served ours with a Caesar side salad, but mashed potatoes would be great too! Enjoy!
