Ingredients

• 1 cup crushed saltine crackers or panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed crackers, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt.

4. Pat chicken breasts or fish fillets dry. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
5. Press the crust mixture firmly onto the top of each piece, coating evenly.
