  It's pretty much like a shake and bake coating just with cheeze its.

  From the novice chef blog:

  You will need:
  1/2 cup Reduced Fat Cheez-Its, crushed
  1/2 cup fat free buttermilk (I used 1 teaspoon vinegar and 1/2 cup fat free milk instead)
  3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  1 teaspoon salt
  1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (or to taste)
  1 pound chicken breasts (or chicken tender meat like I always like to use!)
  4 teaspoons Canola oil
  
  Preheat oven to 400 degrees, spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  
  Pour the buttermilk (or vinegar/milk mixture) into a large shallow bowl. On a sheet of wax paper combine the Cheez-It crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper. Dip the chicken in the buttermilk, then dredge in the Cheez-It mixture, coating completely.
  Place the chicken on the baking sheet; drizzle with the canola oil.
  
  If you are using chicken breasts cook for 30 minutes, then turn chicken over and bake until cooked through; 15-20 minutes.
  
  If you are using chicken tenders (which I recommend) cook for 15 minutes, then turn chicken over and bake until cooked through; 10-15 minutes.
  
  I served this with broccoli and mashed potatoes, but a nice fresh salad would go wonderfully as well!
