"Cchicken fingers coated in crushed Cheez-Its, so yummy! My family loves it. Can use croutons or Keebler butter crackers also."

 

• Ready In: 38mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 8-10 chicken tenders
• Serves: 4-5

ingredients

• 8 -10 chicken breast tenders
• 1⁄2 - 1 cup Cheez-It crackers
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• salt
• pepper

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Take the milk, egg, a little salt and pepper and whisk together in a bowl, put aside.
3. Crush the cheeze its in a ziploc bag, okay to have small chunks here and there, pour onto a plate.
4. Take chicken and dip in milk mixture and then roll in cheeze its.
5. Place on another plate and continue until all chicken is coated.
6. I love to run each piece through x2 to get extra coating and use the whole mix.
7. Place on baking sheet and bake 20-30 minutes depending on size.
8. Cool and serve, very yummy with ranch dressing as a dip.

We like this recipe alot very easy to make and we love cheeze it crackers. I used one cup of crackers, I pulsed them in the food processor it worked well. I didnt add any extra salt as I thought the crackers were salty enough, but did add pepper. I did spray the baking sheet with pam first and mine baked at 350 for 20 minutes. Served with ranch dressing. Thanks so much for posting this recipe, its one I will be making again.

Made this for dinner tonight using boneless skinless breasts. I added a little garlic powder and s/p to the Cheez-Its. This chicken was just okay to us, it was a little on the bland side, i'm not sure what I could have added to make it any better. Thank you for posting the recipe!

I'm not sure what I was expecting but I just didn't feel this was very good. My kids didn't like it either.

This recipe is so easy and quick! A great week night meal with French fries and Ranch dressing for dipping. My husband loves this one! I used Reduced Fat Cheeze Its and there was no lack of flavor. Thank you for sharing.

these were good. my girls (8, 3) loved them, but i think i cooked them a little too long; they were dry.
