Every now and then I try a new recipe and am so surprised at how good it is. This is one of those recipes. My family devoured it up! I make chicken more than any other protein and I really wanted to try something new....new to me anyways. I can not believe I have never coated chicken with Ritz crackers before. I was inspired by a warm, cheesy dip that I make using Ritz crackers and decided to try it on chicken
and it was delicious.
Take this already delicious chicken and dip it in a quick, homemade gravy.
I hope you like it as much as we do!!
Chicken:
- 10-12 chicken tenders
- 2 sleeves Ritz crackers
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/8 t pepper
- 1/2 t garlic powder
- 1/2 C buttermilk
- 3 C cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 t dried parsley
- In a small food processor grind up the Ritz crackers.
- Pour the buttermilk, cracker crumbs and grated cheese into 3 separate containers.
- Mix salt and pepper and garlic powder into the cracker crumbs.
- Dip chicken into the buttermilk then cheese then cracker crumbs.
- Spray a 9x13 cooling rack and place on 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray and place chicken on rack.
- Lightly spray chicken with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Gravy:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 Tb butter (melted)
- 2 Tb flour
- salt and pepper
- Make a roux by melting butter and adding flour and whisking for 1 min.
- Add broth while whisking and simmer until it thickens.
- Season with salt and pepper.
~Using a cooling rack allows chicken to brown on both sides. No mushy bottoms.
Those look so yummy <3 ahhh! pinning!
