RITZ CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and coat a 2 quart (or 8 in. baking dish) with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, stir to combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and Italian seasoning. Stir in chicken. Transfer to the casserole dish.

RITZ CRACKER CHICKEN WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE AND CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 and grease a cast iron pan or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• First, you can decide to cut chicken into smaller pieces and slice down the middle if your breasts are super large. The smaller you make your chicken, the less cooking time you may need so please be aware to adjust times if you cut down into strips or down the middle.
• Add crushed Ritz crackers, salt and pepper, and mix spices and crackers well in a shallow bowl.
• Add milk to a shallow bowl and shredded cheddar cheese to a separate bowl. You will be dipping the chicken in these bowls, so do not combine.
• Dip chicken into milk first, making sure both sides are covered.
• Dip chicken into shredded cheese and press the cheese into the chicken on both sides.
• Now dip into crushed Ritz crackers and press the crackers into both sides of the chicken breasts. Some of the cheese will fall off into the crackers and that's okay.
• As you finish coating chicken, please chicken into prepared pan.
• Repeat recipe process until all chicken is covered and pan is full.
• Cover chicken with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
• Remove foil and discard.
• Return chicken to oven for 10 more minutes until crispy, melty, and golden brown.
• Serve topped with cream sauce (recipe below)
• Chicken Cream Sauce
• To make the sauce, add cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter to a small saucepan.
• Heat sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally until blended well and hot. This only takes a few minutes.
• Drizzle sauce on chicken and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS

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.

RITZ PARMESAN BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9" x 13" baking dish by spraying with non stick baking spray.
• Add cracker crumbs, garlic salt, seasoned salt, parsley flakes and 3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish and mix.
• Coat each side of chicken breast with plain Greek yogurt. Then roll in cracker mixture until completely coated. Set in a single layer in prepared baking dish.
• Slice butter into 16 equal slices. Add two slices to the top of each chicken breast.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Check chicken after 30 minutes of baking. If it's completely browned cover with aluminum foil for the remainder of baking time.
• If desired sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over chicken before serving.
