Adapted from a recipe in Real Simple magazine, this bakes up crunchy and moist.Use the cheddar flavored Flipside crackers for extra cheesy flavor. I make this when I'm making Baked Mac & Cheese, and top it with the leftover crumb mixture too! Steamed broccoli is a perfect compliment to the other two dishes. I used Flipside crackers (townhouse crackers with pretzel on one side), but plain ol' Ritz, Townhouse or Club crackers will do.
Ingredients:
25 flipside crackers, crushed
4 tablespoons butter
6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Directions:
1. Combine the crackers, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper in a large zip-top bag.
2. Melt butter and place in a shallow bowl.
3. Dip each chicken breast in the melted butter, then drop into the bag and shake until completely covered, pressing the mixture against the chicken.
4. Place in a greased casserole dish.
5. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
6. Top lightly with remaining crumb mixture.
7. Drizzle with any remaining butter.
8. Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes.
