Why We Love This Baked BBQ Chicken Breast Recipe
Baked chicken recipes are a favorite around here. They’re easy, they’re delicious, and there are endless possibilities for new variations. This white cheddar baked BBQ chicken breast recipe is one of the best because it’s easy!
Simple. You’re just 3 ingredients and one pan away from a delicious dinner. Tasty. Store-bought BBQ sauce and Cheez-Its are a flavor match made in heaven! Crunchy. Cheez-Its provide the perfect textural contrast to the juicy chicken.
Variations on Cheez-It Chicken
This recipe is so easy to change up based on what you have in your pantry. Korean BBQ sauce, Hoisin sauce, plum sauce, mustard sauce, teriyaki sauce, or even ranch dressing all work great. And if you don’t have Cheez-Its, use any other cheesy cracker, or try butter crackers or Panko breadcrumbs.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover baked BBQ chicken breast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes, or until warmed through.
How to Freeze
Freeze baked BBQ chicken breast (without the Cheez-Its) in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight before topping with freshly crushed Cheez-Its and reheating.
Serving Suggestions
This easy Cheez-It chicken recipe goes great with so many easy side dishes, like buttered noodles, Instant Pot mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, or basmati rice. For veggies, we love grilled corn on the cob, air fryer ranch broccoli, or cheesy asparagus au gratin.
