Ritzy Chicken Nuggets

This is a great afternoon snack or appetizer. I like to use Ritz crackers in this dish but of course, you can use any cracker in your pantry. This is not your ordinary chicken nuggets. It's tender yet crispy!

Ingredients:
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cup Ritz cracker crumbs

Directions:
  1. Slice chicken breasts into 7 slices or nugget sized pieces.
  2. Pour buttermilk and chicken slices into a zip-lock bag. Leave in the refrigerator to marinade for 1 hour or up to 1 day.
  3. Preheat oven to 425ยบ.
  4. Place cracker crumbs into a large bowl. Remove chicken nuggets from the bag and shake off excess buttermilk then dip them in the cracker crumbs. Coat well and place chicken nuggets on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
