Cheez-It Chicken image

Yummy quick chicken dish! If you use chicken thighs, they come out much juicier, but breasts work too. You can also make this with boneless pork. The key to this recipe is the salad dressing. Use Marie's Creamy Italian Garlic dressing Only (it's the thickest & will hold the cracker crumbs)
