Ritz Chicken

You have probably noticed by now that I like to find recipes that call for ingredients I usually keep in my pantry. Who wants to make a last-minute run to the grocery store if not absolutely necessary? Especially when the grocery store is 20 miles away and snowy roads might be involved! LOL. This recipe is very tasty and VERY simple to make. Hope you enjoy!!

Ingredients:

For the chicken:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 sleeves of roasted vegetable flavor Ritz crackers (these add wonderful flavor!)
1/2 c. buttermilk or milk
Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce:
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 Tbsp. sour cream
2 Tbsp. butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter or oil, whichever you prefer.
Crush Ritz crackers into fine crumbs (you may use a food processor for this, however I prefer putting the crackers into a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin... fun way to relieve some stress too! LOL)
Place crumbs in a shallow dish for dredging the chicken.
Pour buttermilk or milk into a small bowl.
Dip chicken breasts into milk, then coat with cracker crumbs. It is a messy job but so worth it in the end!
Place in prepared baking dish and sprinkle any non-covered areas with additional crumbs.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked.


Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.
In a small pot, over medium-high heat, bring soup, sour cream, and butter to a boil. Whisk to make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined and then let sauce simmer on very low heat. Serve over chicken.

That's it! Enjoy!
