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).

BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups cheese crackers, such as Cheez-Its, ground into crumbs
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound chicken tenders (7 to 8 tenders)
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
Dash cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with foil, then place a wire rack on top.
  • For the chicken tenders: Mix the cracker crumbs and Parmesan together in a large bowl. In a shallow dish, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, cider vinegar and some salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the chicken tenders with a little salt and pepper and then place them, one by one, in the mayonnaise mixture. Scrape off excess mayonnaise and then roll the tenders in the crumb mixture to coat. As you go, place the coated tenders on the wire rack.
  • Bake until cooked through and golden brown, 25 minutes. Let cool on the rack for 5 minutes.
  • For the Dijon sauce: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mustard, mayonnaise, honey, cayenne and some salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and lump free.
  • Transfer the chicken tenders to a serving platter. Serve with the Dijon sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Always use fresh chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Cook the chicken fingers until they are golden brown and cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the chicken fingers. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a more subtle flavor.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for chicken fingers include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Cheez-It Chicken Fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
