RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS



Ritzy Cheddar Chicken Breasts image

They're as good as they sound: cheesy chicken cutlets coated with buttery Ritz crackers. Skipping the usual flour-egg-bread crumb dredge, this recipe relies instead on a flavorful base layer of tangy sour cream, which has lactic acid that tenderizes boneless, skinless chicken breasts beautifully. When it comes to breaded white meat, thin cutlets are ideal, which you can buy from the store or achieve by slicing thick breasts in half horizontally (no pounding necessary). They cook more evenly this way, staying tender throughout as they're quickly baked in a hot oven. Serve with something fresh - a big green salad, perhaps - to balance the wonderful richness of this nostalgic number.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing wire rack
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 100 grams)
2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
  • In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
  • Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.

CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN



Crunchy Onion Chicken image

Can it get any easier? This chicken is so tender and moist! From a French's ad in Family Circle Magazine. Makes a tasty meal when there is little time to cook. Also would make a good sandwich. ***NOTES*** 3/1/2009, I just saw this recipe printed in a new magazine and they now have you add one tablespoon of flour to the crushed French Fried onions. It helps the pieces adhere to the chicken better. 10/19/2010, one of the reviewers offered a new tip: substitute a flavored mustard for the egg if you enjoy the tanginess of mustard. Great idea!

Provided by Robynne Glenn @RobynneG

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup(s) butter, melted
1 teaspoon(s) garlic salt
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
4 teaspoon(s) granulated garlic
2 - eggs
2 tablespoon(s) milk
2 cup(s) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup(s) French's french fried onions, crushed
1 cup(s) Panko bread crumbs
1 cup(s) crispy rice cereal
6 - chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
4 tablespoon(s) butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 13x9x2" baking dish with 1/2 cup of melted butter.
  • Sprinkle garlic salt on chicken breast and set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. In a second bowl, beat together the egg and milk. In a third bowl, mix the cheese, bread crumbs, fried onions, and cereal. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, then press in the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
  • Arrange the chicken (do not overcrowd) in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle 4 tablespoons melted butter evenly over chicken. (My family loves extra crunchies, so I make sure to add some of the leftover bread crumbs between the chicken before adding the butter.)
  • Bake 35-45 minutes or until coating is golden brown and chicken juices run clear.

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely coated in the flour mixture before frying. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken and prevent it from falling off.
  • Fry the chicken in a large skillet over medium heat. Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

This Crunchy Cheddar Onion Chicken Breast recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the cheddar and onion topping is the perfect finishing touch. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
