How to make Crispy Cheddar Chicken

Into two or three large pieces, slice the chicken breasts.
In a food processor, blend the cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley until fine crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk the milk and eggs.
Place the cheese/cracker mixture in another bowl. Mix well until combined.
In the egg mixture, dip the chicken pieces. Then, coat in the cracker mix. Finally, press the chicken pieces in the crumbs until evenly coated.
On the chicken, spray a thin coating of cooking spray. Into the prepared pan, place the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Tent with foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
