Cheesy Chicken Strips With Broccoli White Cheddar and Shells

Ingredients

• aluminum foil (optional)
• cooking spray
• 1 ½ cups fish-shaped cheese crackers
• large zip-top bag
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with foil (for ease of cleanup) and coat with cooking spray. Place crackers in zip-top bag and crush; add cheese and shake to mix.
2. Whisk egg, in large bowl, until blended; add chicken, using tongs, and toss to coat. Transfer chicken from egg mixture to zip-top bag; use tongs and allow excess egg to drip off. Seal bag tightly and shake (or use fingertips) to evenly coat chicken.
3. Use tongs to arrange chicken in single layer on baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 170°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. (Thread 2-3 tenderloins onto probe, if too small for reading temperature.) Serve.
