- 709.77 ml Cheez-It crackers

directions
- Cut chicken breasts into halves or thirds, depending on their size.
- Whisk the eggs and half & half together and pour into a large flat bowl or pan.
- Combine the Cheez-it crackers and salad dressing mix in a food processor and process until the crackers are reduced to fine crumbs, then pour into a separate dish.
- Pour the shredded cheese into a third dish.
- Dip each chicken piece in the milk mixture, then in the cheese (you will have to press the cheese onto the chicken), then in the cracker crumbs.
- As each piece is coated, arrange it into a baking dish (one with a rack is ideal).
- Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.
- Remove cover and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until tops are nicely browned.
- Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in 2 T of the butter over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the soup, sour cream, broth and remaining 2 T of butter and heat through.
- To serve, ladle the sauce over the chicken pieces (the sauce is fantastic on rice or mashed potatoes too).
