Ritz Cracker Chicken Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

A comforting, crispy baked chicken dish coated in crushed Ritz crackers and baked to golden perfection. Easy to make and loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 1 sleeve (about 35 crackers) Ritz crackers, crushed
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. In a shallow dish, combine crushed Ritz crackers, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Place melted butter in another shallow dish.
4. Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, coating both sides, then press into the cracker mixture, ensuring an even coating.
5. Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining butter over the tops.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and coating is golden and crispy.
7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use a food processor to crush the crackers into fine crumbs.
• Serve with mashed potatoes or a side salad for a complete meal.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
