NOTE: Save the remaining milk you dip the chicken in. I used the remainder (with the little bit of cornstarch that came off in the milk) and added it to my sauce when it was simmering and cooked it out. I hate throwing anything away if I can avoid it. I also used any remaining cheese and cracker crumbs and sprinkled them on top before baking. As you can see I made a double batch for my big crew) but I only added milk, cheese & crackers as I needed while coating so I wouldn't end up with a lot of unused ingredients. Enjoy!.
