CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN

 You may never fry chicken again after tasting this baked crispy chicken. This is a family favorite and oh so easy

🙂
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.

FENNEL FISH CHOWDER

 Ingredients

Directions

2. Increase heat to medium-high and add stock and potatoes. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
3. Stir warmed cream, peas, and fish into pot and return to a gentle simmer. Cover and simmer until fish is opaque and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then divide among bowls, sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds, and serve.
