How To Make crispy cheesy chicken

  • 1
    Pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/2 inch thick (or cut them in half lengthwise). Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic salt; set aside.
  • 2
    Set up three bowls: one containing the egg wash, one containing the cheddar Jack cheese, and one containing the Panko crumbs.
  • 3
    Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, then the cheddar Jack cheese and then the Panko crumbs. Place the chicken in a 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with parsley.
  • 4
    Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 400º oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to cook until chicken is brown on top, about 10 minutes.
  • 5
    FOR THE SAUCE: In a small saucepan melt the butter, then add the cheddar cheese soup, sour cream and the 1/2 cup water. Add the parsley.
  • 6
    Mix together well over medium heat until hot but not boiling and transfer to a bowl or a gravy boat so it may be served on the side.
  • 7
    Remove chicken from the oven and serve with sauce.
