In my opinion, this is just sinful. I don't know any other way to describe this. It is rich and defiantly something that I will serve on a special occasion.
Ingredients:
1 pound of of tenderloin chicken breast strips
1 sleeve of Ritz Crackers
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 pinches of pepper
1/4 cup of milk
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
For the sauce you will need:
5 ounces cream of chicken soup
1 tablespoon of sour cream
1 tablespoon of butter
You will need to crush up the Ritz Crackers so that they become similar to bread crumbs. I just keep them right in the sleeve and smash, smash, smash with my hands. Pour them on a piece of parchment paper.
Add the salt and pepper to the crackers. Mix with your hands and at the same time you can break down any of the large pieces that did not get crunched in the sleeve.
Put the chicken strips into a bowl and add the milk. Mix the chicken and the milk really well.
I put the cheese on the parchment paper, in a separate area from the crackers. I then take one of the strips and press it into the cheese very firmly, on both sides.
Then I place the cheese covered strip into the crackers and coat really well. Place the coated chicken into a well oiled casserole dish.
Once you have all the chicken coated and in the casserole dish, sprinkle the top of the chicken with the Italian seasoning.
Cover the casserole dish and place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35 minutes.
When the 30 is up, remove the cover and cook an additional 10 minutes.
During the last 10 minutes that the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce.
Place the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter in a saucepan. Heat to medium and constantly stir with a whisk until the chicken is ready.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and
Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy,
Debra
