  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

  • ½ cup milk

  • 3 cups grated cheddar cheese

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1 (10-ounce) can cream of chicken soup

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons butter


Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F.

    • Cut each chicken breast into three large chunks.

  2. Set Up Dipping Stations:

    • Place the milk, grated cheddar cheese, and crushed Ritz crackers into three separate shallow dishes.

    • Add salt and pepper to the cracker crumbs and mix to combine.

  3. Coat the Chicken:

    • Dip each piece of chicken into the milk, ensuring it’s fully coated.

    • Next, press the chicken into the grated cheese, allowing some cheese to adhere.

    • Finally, press the cheese-coated chicken into the cracker crumbs, ensuring an even coating.

  4. Bake the Chicken:

    • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

    • Arrange the coated chicken pieces in the dish.

    • Sprinkle dried parsley over the top.

    • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.

    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.

  5. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and butter over medium-high heat until the sauce is hot and smooth.

  6. Serve:

    • Plate the baked chicken and drizzle the warm sauce over each serving.
