BAKED CHEDDAR DIJON CHICKEN TENDERS



Baked Cheddar Dijon Chicken Tenders image

Skip the regular breadcrumbs and grab the cheese crackers for a family favorite recipe for Baked Cheddar Dijon Chicken Tenders.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cups cheddar crackers, such as Cheez-Its or Cheese Nips
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/4 lbs uncooked chicken tenders
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F with the rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with the olive oil.
  • Pulse the cheddar crackers in a food processor until finely ground, or alternately, place the crackers in a plastic bag, seal it and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers. Transfer the crackers to a wide, shallow bowl and stir in the paprika.
  • In a separate wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs with the Dijon mustard. Place the flour in a third wide, shallow bowl.
  • Bread each tender by coating it in the flour, shaking off any excess, and then dipping it in the eggs. Transfer the tender from the eggs to the crackers, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to ensure an even coating, and then placing the tender on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the breading process with the remaining tenders, arranging them in a single layer about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the tenders, turning them over once, until they're golden brown, about 15 minutes total.

Creamy Chicken Cheddar Cheese Sauce image

Creamy Chicken Cheddar Cheese Sauce - Chicken smothered in a rich and creamy cheddar sauce with parsley is a truly heartwarming, so cozy, and one perfect dinner meal. Very quick and easy dinner recipe idea to make from scratch which only takes you 30 minutes to make.

Provided by Julia | The Yummy Bowl

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Pinch of salt
For the sauce:
6-7 mushrooms ((or more if you love mushrooms))
1 tbsp butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cup cheddar (grated)
½ tsp chili flakes
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves (chopped)

Steps:

  • Wash chicken breasts, pat dry with a tissue.
  • Cut each chicken breast in half, and then each piece into 3. Which will make a total of 12 chicken pieces. (If you want, you can also cut the chicken breast into long strips. The chicken will cook even faster this way)
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and transfer to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Leave it aside. (Cook on high heat, don't reduce the heat. Cooking this way will result in more tender chicken from the inside and slightly crispy from the outside.)
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add cream, take it to a boil, and reduce heat. Don't boil! Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Top with grated cheddar cheese and chopped parsley leaves, stirring and mixing everything well until cheese is melted.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, add chili flakes and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Taste if you need more salt. The cheddar is quite salty itself, so you may want to leave it as it is.
  • Garnish with parsley and you are ready to serve your delicious dinner!

RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS



Ritzy Cheddar Chicken Breasts image

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.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

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:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. This will make the chicken strips easier to cut and cook evenly.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch strips. This will ensure that they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Dredge the chicken strips in flour. This will help to create a crispy coating on the chicken.
  • Dip the chicken strips in beaten eggs. This will help the flour to adhere to the chicken.
  • Roll the chicken strips in bread crumbs. This will create a crispy coating on the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken strips in hot oil until golden brown. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken strips with cheddar are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party appetizer. The chicken strips are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the cheddar cheese adds a delicious flavor. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, and you have a meal that everyone will love.
