CRISPY CHEDDAR CHICKEN — Tender chicken breast pieces are coated in a cheesy crumb crust, baked until golden, then topped with a simple chicken gravy.
If you’re a food snob, you might as well leave now. This is a canned soup recipe. However, if you’d like to hear more about the only meat dish that everyone in my family gobbles up and asks for more of, stick around for this Crispy Cheddar Chicken.
Honestly, I don’t use a lot of canned soups in my cooking, but this chicken is a huge family favorite. I’m afraid there would be a mutiny if I stopped serving it!
Even my child who doesn’t usually like meat cleans his plate when I make this Crispy Cheddar Chicken. I’m thinking it has something to do with the cheesy Ritz cracker crumb coating. Or maybe the delicious, creamy sauce.
If you really can’t stomach the idea of using canned soup , a nice, homemade chicken gravy would work just fine–or a homemade cheese sauce.
Or you could just skip the sauce all together. This chicken is pretty tasty on it’s own. Kind of like a deluxe, super crispy chicken tender.
The recipe as written makes quite a bit of crumb coating–probably enough for 6-8 chicken breasts. So consider using extra chicken, or using less crumbs.
You do want to really pack on the crumbs though, so you have a nice, thick coating. I mean, the crunchy coating is the best part. And it helps keep the chicken most and tender.
I’d go with extra chicken, since I never seem to make enough of this to satisfy everyone.
Plus, the leftovers are delicious! Chop up leftover chicken for a salad, or wrap it in a tortilla or make it into a crispy chicken sandwich. The possibilities are endless!
If you’re looking for a simple, crowd pleasing chicken dinner , then this Crispy Cheddar Chicken is the recipe for you. We never have leftovers when I make this for dinner!
