Baked Cheez It Chicken Recipes

OVEN BAKED CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (or silpat if you have it).
• Place the Cheez-it's in a zip-lock baggie and give it to your kid to play catch, touch football, whatever. Smack the back a few times with a rolling pin... get the cheese-it's crushed, but don't worry if there are some larger pieces. Pour into a shallow bowl or plate.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the water. Whisk together until combined well. (something else your child can do!).
• Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then roll around in the crushed Cheez-it's (kids love this part!)
• Place on the cookie sheet, continue until all the chicken is coated.
• Lightly spray all coated chicken with the cooking spray.
• Bake at 350°F about 15 -20 minutes (start checking the smaller ones after 10 minutes. I always pull them out as they get cooked through so that the smallest isn't incinerated by the time the largest piece is done cooking).

BAKED CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease an oven safe dish that the chicken will fit inches.
• Rinse your chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towel.Very important that you dry the chicken breasts before preparing them, if the chicken isn't dry the seasonings will not stick and neither will the sour cream mixture. Season on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. In a shallow dish, combine the sour cream and buttermilk. Arrange the crushed Cheez-Its in a second shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast into the sour cream mixture, then into the Cheez-Its so that they adhere and form a crust. Place the chicken in your prepared baking dish, leaving about 1 inch between the breasts.
• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Sprinkle remaining cracker mixture on top; lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
