Cheez-It Chicken

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:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. 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.
3. Place the chicken chunks into a bowl and add the oil.  Mix together to coat the chicken evenly with the oil.
4. 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.
5. Spray a cookie sheet with a non-stick spray.  Arrange the chicken on the cookie sheet in a single layer.
6. Spinkle some of the remaining Cheez-It crumbs on top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken starts to turn golden brown.
8. 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!
