RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS

They're as good as they sound: cheesy chicken cutlets coated with buttery Ritz crackers. Skipping the usual flour-egg-bread crumb dredge, this recipe relies instead on a flavorful base layer of tangy sour cream, which has lactic acid that tenderizes boneless, skinless chicken breasts beautifully. When it comes to breaded white meat, thin cutlets are ideal, which you can buy from the store or achieve by slicing thick breasts in half horizontally (no pounding necessary). They cook more evenly this way, staying tender throughout as they're quickly baked in a hot oven. Serve with something fresh - a big green salad, perhaps - to balance the wonderful richness of this nostalgic number.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing wire rack
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 100 grams)
2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
  • In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
  • Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.

Tips for Making Butter Chicken with Ritz Crackers:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your butter chicken. Look for high-quality chicken, ripe tomatoes, and fresh ginger and garlic.
  • Don't skip the marinade: The marinade helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to dry out.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the butter chicken from burning.
  • Be patient: Butter chicken takes time to simmer and develop its flavor. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a dish that's bland and lacks depth of flavor.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Butter chicken is traditionally served with rice or naan. This helps to soak up the delicious sauce and makes the dish more filling.

Conclusion:

Butter chicken with Ritz crackers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
