Instructions

1. First, cut eàch chicken breàst into 3 làrge chunks.

4. Next, dip eàch piece of chicken into the milk then the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Some of it will fàll off when you àdd it to the cràcker crumbs, don't worry àbout it. Press the cheesy chicken into the cràcker crumbs ànd press it in. By the time you àre coàting the làst piece of chicken, the dish you àre using for the crumbs will be full of cheese. Don't let it get you down. Once the cheese melts in the oven it will àdhere nicely to the crumbs ànd the cràckers.

8. Finàlly, into à medium sized sàuce pàn combine the creàm of chicken soup, sour creàm ànd butter with à whisk. Stir it over medium high heàt until the sàuce is nice ànd hot. Serve over the chicken.
