You've gotta love a great chicken recipe! And this parmesan crusted chicken has it all!  It's an easy chicken recipe.  It's a kid friendly chicken recipe.  And...you only need four ingredients!!!  That's right!  Only four!  So what are you waiting for!  Let's get cooking!

Steps collage for parm crusted chicken.

How do you make parmesan crusted chicken?

  1. Cut 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts into 3 strips each. OR use 18 chicken tenders instead.
  2. Place the breast strips or tenders into a gallon size ziploc bag with a cup of sour cream.  Squish the bag around coating the chicken strips in sour cream and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with foil, set a wire cooling rack over the tin foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Crush the garlic butter ritz crackers in a gallon ziploc bag, with a rolling pin.  Add the shredded parmesan to the crumbs and shake to mix.
  5. Remove the chicken strips a few at a time from the sour cream.  Let the excess sour cream drip off and place the chicken strips in the bag of parm and crumbs.  Shake to coat.
  6. Place the crumb coated chicken strips on the wire cooling rack leaving just a little space in between each strip.
  7. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

How do you keep the breading on chicken parmesan?

  •  I believe this is a common question.  As you've probably noticed this parmesan crusted chicken is without breadcrumbs.  I think cracker crumbs stick better and for this particular recipe the cracker crumbs shouldn't have a hard time sticking to the chicken.  The sour cream that the chicken strips marinated in should leave enough of a coating for the crumbs to grab onto.  Also make sure that you crushed up your crackers into fine crumbs.  Large cracker chunks won't stick as well.  If you have a couple spots that are a little thin on breading you can use your fingers to pat a little extra breading on.

Is parmesan chicken healthy?

  • I know we are all concerned about feeding our families healthy meals.  Whether you consider this recipe "healthy" or not kind of depends on your families dietary needs.  I, however, feel pretty good about feeding this to my family.  Instead of this being pan fried parmesan crusted chicken, it's baked in the oven which cuts out frying oil.  While this parmesan crusted chicken isn't keto it is low carb.  I know a lot of people are trying cut unnecessary carbs from their diets.

What goes with parmesan crusted chicken?

  • I think rice compliments this dish well.  If you haven't tried it already I recommend my Orzo Rice Pilaf.  Add a nice green salad and some buttermilk biscuits or even some dinner rolls and you've got a nice meal!

If you are looking for a couple other great chicken recipes check out my chicken and rice casserole.  You can make it ahead and it freezes really well.  If you are a big sriracha fan then you might like honey sriracha chicken that makes a great one pan meal.  We lean more towards the buffalo chicken in quesadillas. And they're super easy too!  And don't forget chicken enchiladas!  I look to make them ahead and freeze them.  Makes for and easy dinner.

    This sounds good! We do something similar that we call sour cream chicken. We just sprinkle the chicken with a little salt, coat in sour cream, then crushed nabisco chicken in a biskit crackers. Bake the same as yours. My kids love it! I'm with you on the garlic butter flavored ritz...they're the best! I have a hard time finding them anymore though?!?
