• Dump the dough on a lightly floured board and roll into a 13-inch long log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the log crosswise into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a sheet pan and bake for 22 minutes.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook rice in 1-1/4 cups broth and 1/2 cup water as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, mix cracker crumbs and Parmesan on plate. Rinse chicken with water; gently shake off excess water. Dip chicken in crumb mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each breast. Discard any remaining crumb mixture.
• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 6 min. on each side or until done (165°F). Transfer to plate; cover to keep warm. Add remaining broth and reduced-fat cream cheese to skillet; bring just to boil, stirring constantly. Cook 3 min. or until thickened, stirring frequently; spoon over chicken. Serve with rice and asparagus.

PARMESAN CREAM CRACKERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with flour. Put flour, salt, cheese and butter in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until flour and butter are combined. Add about 1/4 cup cream or half-and-half and let machine run for a bit; continue to add liquid a teaspoon at a time, until mixture holds together but is not sticky.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1/2-inch thick or even thinner, adding flour as needed. Transfer sheet of dough to prepared baking sheet (drape it over rolling pin to make it easier). Score lightly with a sharp knife, pizza cutter or a pastry wheel if you want to break crackers into squares or rectangles later on. Sprinkle with salt or other topping if you like.
• Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature or store in a tin for a few days.

CRACKER CRUSTED PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Mix mayo and lemon juice in medium bowl. Combine cracker crumbs, cheese and basil in separate bowl.
• DIP chicken, 1 breast at a time, in mayo mixture, then roll in crumb mixture until evenly coated. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 20 min. or until done (165°F).

PARMESAN SESAME CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Gradually add 2/3 cup water and oil, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times., Divide dough in half. Roll each ball directly on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Pierce dough with a fork., Whisk together egg white and remaining water; brush over dough. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over tops., Score each pan of dough into 24 pieces. Bake until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Immediately cut along the scored lines; cool in pans on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

ALMOND FLOUR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F.
• Lay a baking sheet sized piece of parchment paper flat on a work surface and lightly dust with almond flour. Have a second sheet of the same size nearby.
• Place almond flour, kosher salt and parmesan cheese into the bowl of a food processor; pulse a few times to combine. Sprinkle in cubes of butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Drizzle cream or half and half over mixture and process until dough just comes together, about 5 seconds.
• Turn dough out onto dusted sheet of parchment paper (dough will be sticky). Gently pat dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle and dust generously with almond flour. Place second sheet of parchment paper over the dough and, with a rolling pin, roll into an 1/8-inch thick loose rectangle. Carefully remove top layer of parchment (if it starts to stick, use a rubber spatula to gently separate the parchment from the dough). With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut dough into 1 1/2-inch square crackers, trimming outside edge. (Don't try to separate crackers at this point, the dough is too sticky.)
• Transfer dough on parchment directly to baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes and remove from oven.
• Reduce oven temperature to 250˚F and crack oven door open to allow heat to escape while you divide crackers.
• Use pizza cutter to cut dough into crackers, following the lines you scored before baking. With a thin, small spatula gently separate each cracker so that it has a little bit of space all around.
• Bake 15-20 minutes more, until light golden brown and crisp, rotating baking sheet every 5 minutes. (recipe note #1) Transfer baking sheet to wire cooling rack. Let crackers cool completely in baking sheet (they'll crisp more as they cool). Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
