O~M~G!!!
This is really good!

Crispy Cheddar Chicken
...
2 lbs chicken tenders or 4 large chicken breasts
2 sleeves Ritz crackers
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Sauce:
1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup
2 tablespoon sour cream
2 tablespoon butter

Crush crackers. If using chicken breasts and not tenders, cut each chicken breast into 3 large pieces. Pour the milk, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small pans. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture around to combine. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and then the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Then press the cheesy coated chicken into the cracker crumbs and press it in.

Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the pan. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken. Cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the tin foil, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.

In a medium sized sauce pan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk. Stir it over medium high heat until the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.

 Does it still have the ritz cracker taste though? I can't stand ritz crackers, but I've used them in recipes before for the texture.

Gonna try this. Sounds yummy

 Hmmm. Not exctly sure, cause I like Ritz so I might not have noticed that. It's crispy crunchy and more the cheese taste I think.

I was checking the pantry and everything that I saw might work but wouldn't taste the same. Think that I'll try the original recipe first. (The might work stuff was buttermilk ... for milk, cheddar cheese soup ... for milk, egg dip for milk - I have such a hard time coating stuff!) I do have some Panko crumbs but I think that they would sog.
