Cheez It Chicken Recipes

CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place butter in metal cooking sheet & put in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees. Pound chicken thin. Roll with mozzarella stick. Dip each chicken roll 1st in shallow bowl of dressing & coat well then dip into 2nd shallow bowl with crushed cheez-its & coat well. Remove cookie sheet of melted butter & spread butter coating sheet well.
• Put rolled, dipped chicken on sheet & bake 25 minute then turn over onto other side & bake another 25-30 minute or until juices run clear.

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.

EASY CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Take the milk, egg, a little salt and pepper and whisk together in a bowl, put aside.
• Crush the cheeze its in a ziploc bag, okay to have small chunks here and there, pour onto a plate.
• Take chicken and dip in milk mixture and then roll in cheeze its.
• Place on another plate and continue until all chicken is coated.
• I love to run each piece through x2 to get extra coating and use the whole mix.
• Place on baking sheet and bake 20-30 minutes depending on size.
• Cool and serve, very yummy with ranch dressing as a dip.

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).
