Ingredients
1 to 1.25 pounds lean boneless chicken breasts, pounded or sliced thin to about half an inch thickness (chicken thighs may be substituted)
2 eggs, whisked
1 sleeve (about 30 crackers) crushed butter round crackers
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes
Instructions
1-Follow these clear steps to whip up your Crispy Ritz Cracker Chicken with ease. Start by preheating your oven to 375ยฐF, as this temperature ensures the chicken cooks through while getting that golden crisp. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts to remove any excess moisture for better coating.
2-In a medium bowl, combine the crushed crackers, salt, pepper, and garlic powder for a flavorful mix. Dip each chicken breast into the whisked eggs, then coat it evenly with the cracker mixture, pressing gently to make sure it sticks. Place the coated pieces in a 9ร13-inch baking dish and scatter the cubed butter around them for added moisture and taste.
3-Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, reaching an internal temperature of 165ยฐF. Once done, serve immediately and spoon any extra melted butter on top for extra flavor. This method keeps the chicken tender inside and crispy outside, making it a family favorite.
