Crispy Cheddar Chicken

This recipe is from Jamie Cooks It Up and it's great! My kids loved it, especially my 4 year old who thought it was cheesy chicken nuggets - which it basically is. The chicken is moist and the cream of chicken sauce is yummy. I served it with a brown rice quinoa blend from Costco and broccoli. I will definitely be making this again.

Crispy Cheddar Chicken

5 chicken breasts
2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup milk
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Sauce:
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk

Cut each chicken breast into 3 large chunks. Pour the milk, cheese, and cracker crumbs into 3 separate bowls (or loaf pans work well). Toss the chicken chunks with salt and pepper and then dip each piece into the milk, then the cheese. Press the cheese as well as you can into the chicken. Then coat it in the cracker crumbs and press them into the chicken also. (This process is messy and cheese will end up in the cracker crumbs, but it's ok.)

Place coated chicken pieces into a non-stick sprayed 9x13 pan. Sprinkle parsley over the chicken. Cover with non-stick sprayed foil and back at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is golden and crispy.

Prepare sauce by  combining cream of chicken soup, sour cream, butter, and milk in a saucepan. Heat stirring until smooth and hot. Serve over chicken.
