Crispy Cheddar Chicken

Here we go! Clearing out the backlog!

I found this recipe on Pinterest. Looked simple enough. I'm pretty much always trying to find ways to cook chicken so that it tastes fried.

One good thing about this recipe is that it didn't require a lot of ingredients.

I'm trying to figure out scarves. Clearly I have a ways to go...


It wanted one sleeve of crushed Ritz crackers except we bought the no-name brand and they were all loose… I had to guess. It ended up being almost half the box.



I made Mom cut the chicken and coat them cause I didn't want to get my hands yucky


Before cooking

After cooking.

I paired this with some Uncle Ben's garlic and butter rice and roasted some frozen green beans with a bit of shallots, olive oil and salt.

As you might have noticed, I got pretty lazy and chose not to make the incredibly simple sauce. I was getting a bit hangry and just wanted to put food in my mouth as fast as possible. It was fine without it. The chicken was surprisingly moist and not soggy as it sometimes is when you bake breaded chicken. You could just taste the cheese a bit, more would have been ok. Mom was super frustrated about the method they wanted you to coat them in. Probably didn't help that we were using 2% instead of buttermilk or cream. You're supposed to put the cheese on before the crackers and after the milk which is kind of silly because cheese doesn't stick to milky chicken very well. We ended up doing some sort of variation of the order and then dumping crackers and cheese onto the chicken in the pan. We had SO much cracker left over. We crushed about 1 1/2 cups worth and it was too much. Definitely try again.

Stuck to the script: 100%! Go us!
