Cheese-It Chicken Strips

Cheese-It Chicken Strips

1/2 cup Cheese-Its, finely crushed
2 large chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into strips
2-3 tbsp oil

1. Put oil in frying pan over medium heat.
2. Put Cheese-It's in gallon zip-loc bag, followed by chicken strips, and shake until coated.
3. Place strips on frying pan and cook 3-4 minutes each side, until no longer pink in the center.
4. Serve hot and crispy.

Notes: This feeds 2-3 people, depending on how large the original breasts were. If your frying pan is small, cook in two separate batches. To crush the Cheese-Its, I put them in the gallon zip-loc and take a rolling pin to them until completely crushed. You can obviously add other seasonings, but the Cheese-Its already offer good flavor! We like eating these with corn on the cob.

Recipe Origination: It's your basic fried chicken recipe but instead of making a coating mix, I used stale Cheese-Its because I hate throwing food away. (Most types of crackers - stale or not - will probably work. I've made it with Goldfish, too.)
