Cheechako Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a large fry pan (I use a dutch oven), melt butter over medium heat.
• Add chicken and cook about 6 minutes or until brown on both sides.
• You want some good golden color here, so no skimping.
• Remove chicken to a plate and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the salt and 1/4 tsp of the pepper, and set aside for the moment.
• In a small bowl, mix remaining salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, parsley and apple juice.
• Add the onion to the pan and stir to coat with the butter/meat juices left in the pan.
• Now add the apple juice-spice mixture to pan and scrap up those crusty bits at the bottom.
• Bring to a boil and return chicken to pan, just nestle it in there.
• Cover and cook over medium about 30 minutes, or until liquid has turned thick and mixture is a deep amber color.
• To serve, spoon onion mixture over or to the side of each piece.
• NOTE-I usually use 3 large onions for this dish, as we just love the end result, but the more onions you use can lengthen the cooking time.
• I usually will let the mixture boil for 3 to 5 minutes before returning the chicken to the pan and reducing the heat to medium.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Add the cheese puffs to a food processor and grind to fine crumbs.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 cup of the cheese puff crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper with your hands until combined. Press the chicken mixture into the baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake until the chicken is cooked, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then turn out onto a cutting board and cut into 4-by-1/2-inch sticks.
• Meanwhile, fill a heavy skillet or a Dutch oven halfway with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• Put the flour, eggs and remaining cheese puff crumbs in separate shallow dishes. Season the flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dip each chicken stick first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the crumbs.
• Add the sticks to the hot oil a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry, turning frequently, until crispy, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate. Serve warm with ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread soup over chicken, sprinkle cheese over soup and top with croutons.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Steps:

• Place the "Cheesies" in your food processor and process into small crumbs. Add the Parmesan Cheese and pour onto a plate.
• Coat chicken breasts in flour & salt.
• Combine egg & water. Beat until well combined. Dip floured Chicken in egg mixture.
• Coat the chicken in the Cheesie crumbs.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet (I use cooking spray).
• Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350° until chicken is cooked through (cooking time will depend on thickness of meat).
