Crispy Cheddar Chicken

You can never have too many chicken recipes.. am I right? I loved this recipe from the moment I saw it on Pinterest. I had to recreate it. It's simple and delicious. The original recipe had the chicken breasts cut into small pieces- almost chicken nugget size, but that doesn't fly in our household. You can easily pair this with mash potatoes, but we had this with garlic butter pasta . MMM. 

Ingredients:

1. 3 large chicken breasts 
2. 1 sleeve Garlic Ritz crackers - you could use regular 
3. 1/4 t salt
4. 1/8 t pepper 
5. 1/2 C milk 
6. 1 egg, beaten
7. 3 C cheddar cheese, grated
8. 1 t dried parsley 

Directions:

1. Crush sleeve of ritz crackers. I crushed mine in the sleeve they were already in. There's no need to dirty up more dishes. ;)  
2. Take 3 separate small pans to house milk and egg/ cheese/ cracker crumbs. 
   
3.  Add salt and pepper to cracker crumbs and milk and egg mixture. 
4. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk/egg mix, then the cheese and last the cracker crumbs. 
   
   
   
   
           
5. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the pan. 
6. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken. 
   
7. Cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. 
8.  Remove the tin foil, bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. 
   

Enjoy :)
