Cheez-it Breaded Chicken Taco’s

I am what you call a manly man.  I confess, I am addicted to sports, I could be the perfect sitcom guy, the guy that watches ball but does what his wife ask’s him to do. I love college basketball, well any basketball for that matter.  With that comes party recipes. My wife and I like a baked snack that is a bit light.  We decided to drive up to Naples and hit Target for our party food. What’s a basketball game without munchies?


My wife and I have been eating Cheez-its for as long as we can remember.  They have the perfect amount of crunch and come in a nice variety of flavors.  We spotted the Cheez-It Grooves and thought, this would be perfect for dipping into a homemade salsa.  We picked up the Cheddar Ranch and White Cheddar Cheez-It Grooves for our platter.


We also picked up the traditional Cheez-It crackers to use as a breading for our chicken we would grill for chicken tacos.  The breading has an Asian twist to it with the spices I chose.  I tossed all into the blender and had a perfect consistency.


I made a simple egg wash using Almond Milk and eggs.


I tossed the chicken breast pieces into the egg wash and then into the Cheez-It mixture for the breading.  


I sprayed down the grill and made sure it was plenty hot to get a good sear on the chicken pieces.

Of course grill marks are important, I then turned the grill down so the chicken crust would not burn.

Serve the Cheez-It crusted chicken tacos with homemade salsa and the Cheez-It Grooves.
This is the perfect basketball game food that your guests will enjoy.  


I found the Cheez-It Grooves on the top shelf of the cracker aisle at my local Target.
