crispy cheddar chicken

In the words of Chris, "This is restaurant quality." Although, I feel like he has to say that since he's my husband and all. It was pretty tasty. I feel like it wasn't as crispy as it should have been, though.

Ingredients (main):
4 large chicken breasts
1 1/2 sleeve of Ritz crackers
1/2 cup of milk
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of dried parsley

Ingredient (sauce):
1 can (10.5oz) cream of chicken
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of sour cream

Preheat oven to 400F. Cut each of the chicken breasts into 3 chunks. In a small food processor, grind up the ritz crackers (or put them in a gallon zip lock bag and bang the crap out of them). In 3 medium bowls, put cracker crumbs in one, milk in one, and cheese in one. Add the salt and pepper to the cracker crumbs and mix well. Dip each piece of chicken in the milk and then into the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with you fingers. Smother in the cracker crumbs. Some cheese may fall off during this, it's okay. Spray a deep baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and place chicken in the dish. Sprinkle the parsley over the chicken. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and remove foil. Bake an additional 10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan combine the cream of chicken, sour cream and butter until nice and hot. Pour over chicken and enjoy!
