Originally from the Easy Home Cookin' Chicken Recipe Pamphlet, I tweaked it a little bit (like I do with every recipe I find). Even the 8 year old who will only eat Chicken McNuggets or processed chicken patties, declared these a winner. They are fast, not fried & really maintain the flavor of the chicken very well. Great for a fast lunch or even appetizer. Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, rinsed,patted dry & cut into bite sized pieces |
1/4 cup flour (i use wondra) |
1 cup baked cheese crackers, crushed (i used cheezits; the off brand i find too salty) |
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (i use the kind in a can - we call it sprinkle cheese) |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1 egg, beaten with |
1 teaspoon water |
salt, to taste (optional) |
pepper |
pan release spray |

1. Preheat oven to 400°F In plastic bag, combine cracker crumbs, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano& basil.
2. In another plastic bag, combine flour& salt& pepper.
3. Toss chicken pieces in flour mixture& shake to coat.
4. Shake off excess.
5. Dip floured chicken pieces in egg/water mixture, coating all sides.
6. Toss chicken pieces in cracker crumb/bread crumb mixture& shake to coat.
7. Press pieces into mixture to make sure there is a nice coating on chicken.
8. Spray cookie sheet or other shallow baking dish w/pan release& place pieces on pan.
