Chicken Cheez It Casserole Food

OVEN BAKED CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (or silpat if you have it).
• Place the Cheez-it's in a zip-lock baggie and give it to your kid to play catch, touch football, whatever. Smack the back a few times with a rolling pin... get the cheese-it's crushed, but don't worry if there are some larger pieces. Pour into a shallow bowl or plate.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the water. Whisk together until combined well. (something else your child can do!).
• Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then roll around in the crushed Cheez-it's (kids love this part!)
• Place on the cookie sheet, continue until all the chicken is coated.
• Lightly spray all coated chicken with the cooking spray.
• Bake at 350°F about 15 -20 minutes (start checking the smaller ones after 10 minutes. I always pull them out as they get cooked through so that the smallest isn't incinerated by the time the largest piece is done cooking).

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Using the bottom of a measuring cup, crush the Cheez-its so that they may be used as breading and mix with your breadcrumbs.
• Cut your cheese into stick shapes (big enough to be put inside your chicken). Trim all excess fat off chicken and with a slim, very sharp knife carve a tunnel inside of the thickest part of each chicken breasts, by inserting the knife and turning it inside of the chicken (if you poke through the outside it's O. K. just bake that side up).
• Stuff the cheese into the chicken.
• Dip your breasts into the beaten egg and roll them into the Cheez-it breading.
• Bake them for 10 minutes then put a dollop of butter on top of each breast.
• And bake for 15 more minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through.

• Lightly beat egg in a separate bowl. Dip chicken thighs into the egg, one at time, and coat well. Place each thigh in the bag with the cereal mixture, seal, and shake well to coat.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken thighs; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer chicken onto a serving plate, reserve oil in the pan, and allow to cool.

• Pour sauce over the casserole, coating the vegetables well. Add chicken thighs and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
