Best 6 Cheez It Chicken Stuffed With Cheese Recipes

CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN STUFFED WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Using the bottom of a measuring cup, crush the Cheez-its so that they may be used as breading and mix with your breadcrumbs.
• Cut your cheese into stick shapes (big enough to be put inside your chicken). Trim all excess fat off chicken and with a slim, very sharp knife carve a tunnel inside of the thickest part of each chicken breasts, by inserting the knife and turning it inside of the chicken (if you poke through the outside it's O. K. just bake that side up).
• Stuff the cheese into the chicken.
• Dip your breasts into the beaten egg and roll them into the Cheez-it breading.
• Bake them for 10 minutes then put a dollop of butter on top of each breast.
• And bake for 15 more minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.

OVEN BAKED CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (or silpat if you have it).
• Place the Cheez-it's in a zip-lock baggie and give it to your kid to play catch, touch football, whatever. Smack the back a few times with a rolling pin... get the cheese-it's crushed, but don't worry if there are some larger pieces. Pour into a shallow bowl or plate.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the water. Whisk together until combined well. (something else your child can do!).
• Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then roll around in the crushed Cheez-it's (kids love this part!)
• Place on the cookie sheet, continue until all the chicken is coated.
• Lightly spray all coated chicken with the cooking spray.
• Bake at 350°F about 15 -20 minutes (start checking the smaller ones after 10 minutes. I always pull them out as they get cooked through so that the smallest isn't incinerated by the time the largest piece is done cooking).

BROCCOLI CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
