Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Ingredients:- 2 C brown rice, uncooked
- 1 can of chicken broth, divided
- 6 Ritz or Club Crackers {whole wheat are excellent}
- 2 T Parmesan cheese
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 T olive oil
- 1/3 C cream cheese
- 1 T minced onion
- 1 T dried chives
- Crush up the crackers and combine them with the Parmesan cheese on a plate. Then coat the chicken in the cracker mix
- Combine the brown rice with 1 1/4 C chicken broth and 1/2 C water. Cook according to directions.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place the chicken into the skillet and cook the chicken for approximately 7-9 minutes on each side. Check the chicken after about 5 minutes because you don't want the crackers to burn. Turn down the heat if too much browning occurs. Try not to flip too early or the cheese won't be melted enough.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine the cream cheese with the chives and onions in pot over medium heat. Mix in the remaining 1/2 C chicken broth into cream cheese mixture and stir as you slowly melt the cream cheese. This takes about 10 minutes.
- Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Serve the chicken atop the rice. Then, drizzle the chive and onion sauce over the top.
