Ritzy Chicken

This recipe comes from Real Mom Kitchen.

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS:

4 chicken breasts, each cut into thirds

1-1/2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed into crumbs

1/4 teaspoon salt

pepper to taste

1 clove garlic

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup melted butter

Gravy:

1 (10¾ oz) can cream of chicken soup

2 Tablespoon light sour cream

1 Tablespoon butter

1/8 cup of milk

chopped chives or green onion, optional for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine the Ritz cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Dip pieces of chicken in the ¼ cup melted butter, followed by coating them in the cracker mixture and place them in the sprayed baking dish.  You have to smash the coating around the chicken to get a nice thick coating.

Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and the edges are crispy.

Although the chicken tastes great without gravy, here is the gravy recipe.

GRAVY:  While chicken bakes, place the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, butter, and milk in a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until heated through and well combined. This will be a sauce used to serve over the chicken.

To serve, place 2 pieces of chicken on each plate and top with the sauce and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onion if desired.   (Can serve with potatoes in picture - Chive and Onion Mashed Potatoes )
