4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 c shredded cheddar jack cheese
2 c panko bread crumbs
3 eggs and 1/2 cup water to make egg wash
salt and pepper to taste
garlic salt to taste
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
FOR THE SAUCE:
1 can(s) (10 oz.) cheddar cheese soup
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sour cream
1/2 c water
1 Tbsp chopped parsley

Steps:

1. Pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/2 inch thick (or cut them in half lengthwise). Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic salt; set aside.
2. Set up three bowls: one containing the egg wash, one containing the cheddar Jack cheese, and one containing the Panko crumbs.
3. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, then the cheddar Jack cheese and then the Panko crumbs. Place the chicken in a 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with parsley.
4. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 400º oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to cook until chicken is brown on top, about 10 minutes.
5. FOR THE SAUCE: In a small saucepan melt the butter, then add the cheddar cheese soup, sour cream and the 1/2 cup water. Add the parsley.
6. Mix together well over medium heat until hot but not boiling and transfer to a bowl or a gravy boat so it may be served on the side.
7. Remove chicken from the oven and serve with sauce.
