1/2 lb. chicken tenderloins or breasts cut into
strips (1" wide)
1/2 stick butter or
margarine, melted
1 cup Cheese Nips
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Preheat oven to 400
degrees. Spray a baking dish large
enough to hold all strips without them touching. Crush the Cheese Nips. Blend in the garlic salt and pepper. Melt the butter and pour over the chicken,
tossing to coat. Add the Cheese Nips and
mix to coat. Place the chicken strips in
the baking dish, sprinkle with any leftover Cheese Nip crumbs. Bake 15-20 minutes depending upon the size of
the strips, until done and the crumbs are crispy. Serves 2-4 depending upon how hungry you
might be.
Martha: I found a
recipe for a dish that used Ritz Crackers crushed and a couple of herbs added
to the crumbs. When I went to get my
Ritz from the pantry I spotted a box of Cheese Nips and decided to give them a
try instead of the Ritz. After crushing
the Nips in my processor I decided I wanted the cheese taste so I used the
pepper and added the garlic salt and eliminated any other herbs. I also poured the crumbs over the chicken
instead of dipping them in them. Make
sure you add the crumbs while the butter is still melted or the coldness of the
chicken will firm it back up. If you're
a cheese lover, this is a recipe you must try.
The kids will go wild over this.
