Ritz Cracker Chicken
Description
Ritz Cracker Chicken is prepared by coating chicken breast strips with a seasoned crumb mixture made from crushed Ritz crackers combined with salt, paprika, and black pepper. The chicken is first dipped in a beaten egg and milk mixture to help the crumbs adhere, then coated thoroughly. After placing the coated chicken strips in a baking dish, melted butter is drizzled on top to enhance browning and flavor during baking at 375°F for 30 minutes. The result is crispy, golden chicken with a seasoned crust that stays tender inside.
This dish works well as a main course served alongside simple sides like vegetables or salad, offering a crunchy texture from the cracker crumb coating instead of traditional breading. Baking rather than frying keeps the preparation straightforward and less oily.
