Cheez-Its are a classic snack beloved by adults and kids alike. I love them so much, I’m using them as breading here for another snack fave—chicken nuggets. These crunchy, cheesy crackers turn basic chicken nuggets into a fun (and ridiculously flavorful) meal that everyone will love. If you struggle with getting your kids to eat something with a bit of heft (or if you want to satisfy your inner child after a long week), this cheesy crusted chicken is the recipe for you. Heads up: it’s also great for game day, and wouldn’t be unwelcome on a holiday appetizer spread either!
The Cheez-Its:
Adding more cheese to the crushed up Cheez-Its not only amplifies the cheddar flavor, but helps to adhere the coating to the chicken. When you’re crushing the Cheez-Its, I recommend using a bag and rolling pin (or something else slightly heavy)—no need to get the food processor out for this one! You don’t need the pieces to be uniform either; a mix of smaller and larger pieces is what you want.
The ranch:
Ranch is obviously a perfect pairing for the chicken, which inspired me to add ranch seasoning to the buttermilk mixture. Since it doesn’t use the whole packet, you can use the rest to make ranch dressing for serving with the chicken—win, win!
Serving ideas:
The side options are endless when it comes to this easy, kid-friendly meal. Some roasted broccoli or mashed potatoes would be my top pick, but mac & cheese is an obvious choice as well.
