Ingredients

4 chicken breasts each cut into thirds
1 ½ sleeve Ritz crackers crushed into crumbs
¼ tsp salt
pepper to taste
1 clove garlic
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup melted butter
10 ¾ oz can cream of chicken soup
2 Tbsp light sour cream
1 Tbsp butter
⅛ cup milk
chopped chives or green onion optional for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a bowl, combine the Ritz cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
Dip pieces of chicken in the 1/4 cup melted butter, followed by coating them in the cracker mixture and place them in the sprayed baking dish.
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.
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. Serves 6.
