Cheez-It Chicken With Mushroom Sauce

"This started out as a "Ritz Cracker Chicken" recipe I got from Facebook, but as often happens to me, it turned into something a bit different. Regardless of it's inauspicous start, this turned out FANTASTIC and it will be one of my staples for the dinner rotation."

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).

I'm an Arkansas native but spent my teen-aged years in Memphis. I have four grown sons and 12 grandchildren. I currently live in Chattanooga, TN and cook mainly for just two, which has been quite an adjustment!
