Directions:
1. Crumble the crackers. If you are using chicken breasts and not tenders, cut each chicken breast into 3 large pieces. Pour the milk, cheese, and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small pans. Add the salt and pepper to the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture to combine.
2. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and then into the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Then press the cheese-covered chicken into the cracker crumbs and press it in. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and place the chicken in the pan.
3. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken. Cover the pan with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.
4. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and butter. Stir over medium heat until the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.
