Ingredients
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 cup crushed ritz crackers
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the oven is heating, set up your ingredients.
Place the beaten eggs in one shallow bowl and the Ritz cracker crumbs in another.
Add garlic salt and pepper to the bowl with the crumbs and stir until well-combined.
Step 2: Coat the Chicken
Dip each piece of chicken into the bowl with the beaten eggs, ensuring all sides are completely covered.
Then, dredge the chicken in the Ritz cracker crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
Continue this process for all the chicken pieces.
Step 3: Arrange Chicken in Baking Dish
Arrange the coated chicken in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place chunks of butter around the chicken to help with flavor and moisture during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Chicken
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
To ensure doneness, use a meat thermometer.
The internal temperature should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 5: Serve
Once the chicken is fully cooked and has reached the desired internal temperature, remove the baking dish from the oven.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful baked chicken!
