The Sunday Funday Bloggers are featuring Crackers today.....

Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories is our host this week.  She invited us to join her in showcasing crackers saying:

"Make homemade crackers or create a recipe with crackers as a key ingredient."

I wasn't energetic enough to attempt homemade crackers right before we left on vacation but I did make a delicious and easy Inside Out Chicken Cordon Bleu that used crackers for the breading.

Let's see what the others are sharing today......

• Sourdough Discard Crackers from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Keto Cheese and Chive Crackers from Cook with Renu
• Easy Inside Out Chicken Cordon Bleu from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Homemade Everything Seasoned Crackers from Amy's Cooking Adventures
• Homemade Goldfish Crackers from Culinary Cam
• Parle Cheesling Bhel from Mayuri's Jikoni
• Whole Wheat Crackers from Sneha's Recipe
• Za'atar Chickpea Crackers from Food Lust People Love

I guess the others have much more confidence than I.  I can't wait to read their posts and try their recipes!!

I may not have made homemade crackers but I am very pleased with this recipe that I am sharing with you today.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 25 Min

Ingredients

• 4 (4-6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

1. Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside
2. Place the crackers into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Pour into a shallow bowl and set aside.
3. Melt 1 Tablespoon of the butter in a large oven-safe skillet. Add the mushrooms to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and tender. Remove from skillet to a plate. Set aside.
