Number Of Ingredients 16

Chicken -
•6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•2 full sleeves of Ritz crackers
•seasoning:
•kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning
•1 cup reduced fat sour cream
•or nonfat, plain Greek yogurt
•4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
•2 Tbsp dried parsley
Sauce -
•1/4 tsp dried dill
•2 tsp parsley
•1 tsp dill pickle juice (yep - from the jar)
•1 can cream of chicken soup
•2 Tbsp sour cream
•3 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Crush your Ritz crackers in a large ziptop bag.
  • Trim your chicken breasts of fat and season well. I used kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Use whatever you prefer.
  • Make yourself a "breading" station of sorts: 1. Low fat sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. 2. Freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese. 3. Crushed up Ritz crackers with the added dried parsley.
  • Coat your chicken in the sour cream, then the cheese, and finally the crackers
  • Get as much or little of the cheese on the chicken as you would like.
  • PRESS the cheddar coated chicken into the cracker crumbs until well coated.
  • put your chicken on a cooling rack set into a sheet pan or Line your pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. OR... spray your sheet pan with nonstick spray.
  • Bake 400 x about 35 min or until internal digital thermometer reaches 160 degrees. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise to 165 when you remove from the oven. Allow it to rest 5 minutes.
  • Sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients, heat and stir until hot.
