Not only is Ritz Cracker Chicken delicious and easy to make, it pairs really well with all sorts of side dishes. Okay, maybe he’d throw pizza into the mix every once in a while, but you get my point. However, he’d happily rotate this Ritz Cracker Chicken with said spaghetti, or noodles and gravy, and be completely content for all of eternity. The guy would gladly eat spaghetti with red sauce six days out of seven. I’ve mentioned in the past that I have a very picky eater for a husband. Luckily, it’s a favorite of everyone in my family, so no one around here is complaining. We’ve been eating Ritz Cracker Chicken more often than I actually want to admit these days. When I am spending big chunks of my day with strangers in my house, I don’t really want to put a lot of effort into dinner at the end of the day. Plumbers, drywall repair guys, flooring dudes, they’ve all been in and out of my house for weeks. This opened a whole Pandora’s box of issues that we’ve spent the last month and a half dealing with. Our basement flooded just a couple of days before New Years. It’s hard to believe that we are well over halfway through February, considering January lasted no less than 300 days. With just a handful of ingredients, you’ll have dinner on the table in no time!
I definitely will not be making this again.Ritz Cracker Chicken couldn’t be easier, or more delicious. The general consenses was that it was edible, but not that great. It did thicken in the oven, but it was too saucy to brown. I left it in for another 15 minutes then decided it was as good as it was gonna get.
After 45 minutes, I took it out, but it was still a bit runny and not at all browned. It did thicken, obviously, but when I poured it on to the macaroni, there was sooo much sauce that the pasta was practically swimming! I added some ham and peas, then topped with breadcrumbs and put in the oven. This is when I first realized that it takes TWO whole bags of shredded cheese! I kept going, since id already used 4 cups of milk. So I decided to add the cheese and see if it helped. It didnt thicken much, due to the amount of milk. I made the cheese sauce the way I do a gravy, starting with butter and flour, then slowly adding the milk. First, as I was making it, I thought that 4 cups of milk seemed a bit much.
Sadly, I misplaced my usual recipe and thought Id give this one a try. We're all big food lovers, and none of us can resist a good homemade mac n'cheese. I made this for dinner tonight for myself, my boyfriend and my 7 year old.
