Blackstone Crispy Cheez-It Chicken
Blackstone Crispy Cheez-It Chicken is a fun and easy griddle recipe with chicken thighs coated in Cheez Its and cheese for a delicious dinner!
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Cheez-It crackers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- kosher salt, pepper
- 2 eggs
- 4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- cooking oil of choice
Instructions
- Put the Cheez-Its, shredded cheese, kosher salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Pulse until they are a breadcrumb consistency. Put in a bowl.
- Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat with a fork. Season the chicken with kosher salt and pepper.
- Lightly coat the chicken with the flour, dip each piece of chicken into the egg, and then into the Cheeze-It crumbs, pressing so the crumbs stick.
- Preheat your griddle to medium low heat. Add cooking oil of choice and the breaded chicken. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, flipping a few times.Note: I served these over cheesy rice that I also made on the griddle at the same time as the chicken. Add two microwave pouches of Jasmine rice to the griddle (I did not microwave the rice first), add some water and cover with a melting dome for 5 minutes. Remove the dome a few times to mix and add more water. Set dome aside and add green onions, kosher salt, pepper, some shredded cheddar cheese, and about 1/3 cup of milk or heavy cream. Mix together on the griddle for a few minutes.
