How do you make cheez-it chicken?

While Cheez-It chicken isn't a traditional dish with a set recipe, you can use Cheez-Its to add a fun twist to chicken recipes. Here are a couple of ideas:

1. Cheez-It Crusted Chicken:

* Ingredients:

* Chicken breasts or tenders

* 1 cup crushed Cheez-Its (you can use a food processor or crush them by hand)

* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

* 1 egg, beaten

* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

* Salt and pepper to taste

* Oil for frying or baking

* Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat generously with the crushed Cheez-It mixture.

3. For baking, place coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

4. For frying, carefully add chicken to hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

2. Cheez-It Chicken Nuggets:

* Ingredients:

* Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

* 1 cup crushed Cheez-Its

* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

* 1/2 cup milk

* 1 egg, beaten

* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

* Salt and pepper to taste

* Oil for frying

* Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the crushed Cheez-Its and Parmesan cheese.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.

3. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the Cheez-It mixture.

4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken nuggets for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips:

* Flavor Variations: Add your favorite seasonings to the crushed Cheez-Its for more flavor, like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.

* Baking: If you prefer a healthier option, bake the chicken nuggets in the oven instead of frying.

* Dipping Sauces: Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.

Remember, these are just starting points. You can experiment with different ingredients and techniques to create your own Cheez-It chicken recipe!
