This crispy cheddar chicken recipe is a delicious and family-friendly dinner made with juicy chicken breasts coated in cheddar cheese and crispy breadcrumbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers (or breadcrumbs)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Cooking spray or melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  • Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Set up a breading station: place milk in one bowl, cheddar cheese in another, and crushed crackers in a third bowl.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the milk, then coat with cheddar cheese, and finally, press into the crushed crackers.
  • Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray or drizzle melted butter over the top for extra crispiness.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can mix the crackers with Parmesan cheese or add herbs like parsley.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
