Ingredients

  • 6 Chicken breasts boneless skinless breasts OR 18 chicken tenders, thawed
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 to 1 ½ rolls of Garlic Butter Ritz Crackers
  • ½ cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • Cut the 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts into 3 strips each OR use 18 chicken tenders instead.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Crush the garlic butter ritz crackers into fine crumbs in a gallon ziploc bag with a rolling pin.  Add the shredded parmesan to the crumbs and shake to mix.
  • 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 parmesan and crumbs.  Shake to coat.
  • Place the crumb-coated chicken strips on the wire cooling rack, leaving just a little space in between each strip.
  • Discard the bag of used sour cream.
  • Bake the chicken strips at 350 for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden.
