Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Sauce:

  • 1 14 oz. can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut each chicken breast into 2 or 3 large chunks.
  • In a food processor combine the Ritz crackers, grated cheese, parsely, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to form crumbs.
  • In a shallow dish, stir together the beaten eggs and milk. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg/milk mixture, then in the cracker crumb mixture, pressing the crumbs on to coat well.
  • Place the coated chicken in a 9x13 pan coated with cooking spray. Spray the top of the chicken with a thin, even layer of cooking spray.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.
  • To make sauce, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk in a medium saucepan.
  • Cook and stir over medium high heat until the sauce hot.
  • Stir in milk until sauce reaches desired consistency. Serve over the chicken.
