CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN



Cheez-It Chicken image

Yummy quick chicken dish! If you use chicken thighs, they come out much juicier, but breasts work too. You can also make this with boneless pork. The key to this recipe is the salad dressing. Use Marie's Creamy Italian Garlic dressing Only (it's the thickest & will hold the cracker crumbs)

OVEN BAKED CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN TENDERS



Oven Baked Cheez-It Chicken Tenders image

This came out of a cookbook I bought for my daughter... but I have to admit that I really like it too! It's a great recipe for your kids to help you make, and they think it's so cool to cook with Cheez-it's!

Provided by CHRISSYG

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups Cheez-It crackers (or similar, small cheddar flavored crackers)
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
nonstick cooking spray (such as Pam)
1 lb chicken tenders (or boneless skinless breasts, cut into strips)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (or silpat if you have it).
  • Place the Cheez-it's in a zip-lock baggie and give it to your kid to play catch, touch football, whatever. Smack the back a few times with a rolling pin... get the cheese-it's crushed, but don't worry if there are some larger pieces. Pour into a shallow bowl or plate.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the water. Whisk together until combined well. (something else your child can do!).
  • Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then roll around in the crushed Cheez-it's (kids love this part!)
  • Place on the cookie sheet, continue until all the chicken is coated.
  • Lightly spray all coated chicken with the cooking spray.
  • Bake at 350°F about 15 -20 minutes (start checking the smaller ones after 10 minutes. I always pull them out as they get cooked through so that the smallest isn't incinerated by the time the largest piece is done cooking).

AMAZING CRUSTED CHICKEN

This is my husband's favorite meal for me to cook. The chicken is so moist and flavorful. The more seasonings you use the better it tastes. Mayo may cause some areas to be a little mushy but it still tastes amazing!

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.
