Unsure of what to cook for dinner? How about a simple chicken dish? It is tasty and crunch and isn't fried. It is baked but crisp and then is served with a yummy sauce just before serving. Serve it with potatoes, pasta or rice to take advantage of that wo
chicken:
4 large chicken breasts
2 sleeves Ritz crackers
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/2 c. milk
3 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 t. dried parsley
dash of garlic powder
sauce:
10 oz. can cream of chicken soup
2 T. sour cream
2 T. butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Cut each chicken breast into 3 large chunks.
In a small food processor, grind up crackers. (You also could put crackers in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.)
Pour each of the milk, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small pans/bowls. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs; stir mixture until combined.
Dip each chicken piece first into the milk, then the cheese and finally the cracker crumbs. (You may need to press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Some might fall off when added to the cracker crumbs.)
Sprinkle the dried parsley and garlic powder over the chicken. Place the chicken in the prepared pan.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil; bake 35 minutes.
Remove foil, bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.
sauce:
Combine the soup, sour cream and butter in a medium sized sauce pan; stir with a whisk over medium-high heat until the sauce is nice and hot.
Serve sauce over the chicken just before eating.
