crispy cheddar chicken
This chicken dish is quick and easy and delish! I do these a little differently than most. Can use Ritz crackers but I like the bread crumbs as I like to taste the cheddar cheese. I also like the texture of the bread crumbs better. I also do not use eggs to dip the chicken in. By the way, it is very kid-friendly. By the way, I am guesstimating the amounts as I just throw this together. :)

If you're looking for an easy kid-friendly dinner, try this crispy cheddar chicken. The chicken breasts have a crispy and cheesy exterior with a satisfying crunch from the bread crumbs. We've seen this recipe with crackers, but we liked the texture and lighter flavor from the bread crumbs. It lets the cheddar cheese flavor more prominent. Drizzled over top is a lovely and easy creamy sauce for even more flavor.
