Crispy Cheddar Chicken Recipe 
Perfectly seasoned chicken breasts coated with crispy Ritz crackers and gooey cheddar cheese, served with an optional creamy sauce for extra indulgence.
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 1 cup, crushed)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Optional Cream Sauce:
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Set Up the Coating Station:
Set up three shallow bowls:
Bowl 1: Milk
Bowl 2: Shredded cheddar cheese
Bowl 3: Crushed Ritz crackers mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Chicken:
Dip each chicken breast in the milk, allowing excess to drip off.
Press the chicken into the shredded cheddar cheese, then into the cracker mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.
Arrange and Bake:
Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the chicken.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden, crispy, and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Make the Optional Cream Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk.
Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until smooth and warmed through.
Serve:
Plate the crispy cheddar chicken and drizzle with the warm cream sauce, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
