Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups cheese flavored crackers (such as Cheez-It®), crushed
1 cup French-fried onions, crushed
½ cup Italian bread crumbs
2 teaspoons sesame seed, toasted
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut in half
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix cheese-flavored crackers, French-fried onions, Italian bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Wash and pat chicken breasts dry. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each piece and place mayonnaise-side down in the cracker mixture. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the other side of the chicken and cover with the cracker mixture, patting firmly into the chicken. Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cracker mixture on top; lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the chicken. Try using a sharp cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown. The chicken should be cooked until it is golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will ensure that the chicken is juicy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cheese cracker chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken or cheese crackers. This recipe can be easily customized to fit your own taste preferences. For example, you can use different types of cheese, add vegetables, or use a different type of sauce.
