Equipment

  • 9x13 Baking Dish
  • tinfoil

Ingredients
  

  • 1½-2 lbs Chicken Strips
  • 1½-2 sleeves Ritz Crackers
  • 2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Buttermilk or Whole Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Season your chicken strips as you see fit. I usually just sprinkle salt and pepper all over mine.
  • In a medium bowl mix together eggs, buttermilk, salt, and pepper.
  • Add seasoned chicken strips to your buttermilk mixture. Make sure all of your chicken gets coated.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Crush half a sleeve of ritz crackers and sprinkle them evenly throughout your baking dish.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese over your ritz crackers.
  • Lay your coated chicken strips side by side on top of your cracker/cheese layer throughout the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the rest of your shredded cheese on top of your chicken.
  • Lastly, sprinkle one sleeve of crushed ritz crackers on top of the cheese layer.
  • Cover with tinfoil and bake at 400° for 35 minutes. When the timer goes off, remove the tinfoil and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
