If your kids are anything like ours, they could live off chicken nuggets. Becky and I are always trying to find new recipes and we came across this one. This is a super easy recipe that the kids can help you make, and its one that they will love. It is for Cheez-It Chicken bites and it is definitely one of our kids favorites.
To make it you only need 3 ingredients. Yes it is just that simple.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 box of Cheez-Its
- You can use any flavor, we like the original, reduced sodium to cut back on the amount of salt.
- 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- You can substitute the Olive oil with vegetable or canola oil if you prefer.
- 2 lbs of chicken breasts
- Cut in to chunk or bite sized pieces.
DIRECTIONS:
- Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Put the Cheez-Its in a food processor and crush into a “bread Crumb” texture. You can also use a Zip-Lock bag and use a rolling pin. I prefer the bag method to save on the amount of dishes to clean later.
- Place the chicken chunks into a bowl and add the oil. Mix together to coat the chicken evenly with the oil.
- Add the chicken to the Cheez-It crumbs and mix together. I find it easier to have the cheez-its in a bag and just give it a good shake. Make sure all the chicken chunks are coated evenly.
- Spray a cookie sheet with a non-stick spray. Arrange the chicken on the cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Spinkle some of the remaining Cheez-It crumbs on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken starts to turn golden brown.
- Serve plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.

After dinner, you can enjoy a sweet desert. The kids may enjoy the chicken nuggets, but this is by far my Kryptonite. It is also the easiest cake I have ever made!

Yes! This recipe looks delicious but also sounds like something my kids will actually eat.
Especially if they knew how they were made! Great idea thank you for the post.
I know it is though finding something new that the kids will like. It is so hard with four kids to keep it a little creative…not to mention to find the time:)
