Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups crackers such as Ritz, crushed
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (1 1/2 pound total) chicken breast, boneless skinless, halves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Combine crushed crackers, Parmesan and pepper in a shallow dish; set aside. (Note: You can experiment with the ratio of Parmesan to cracker crumbs; I like the crust extra crispy, but some people in my family prefer to add a bit more cheese to the mix. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally, so you have 8 pieces total. Pound each chicken piece between two sheets of plastic wrap until very thin, about 1/4 inch thick. Coat chicken in butter, then dredge in cracker mixture, pressing crumbs firmly onto each piece. Lay chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle any excess coating over top. Bake 12 min or until golden and cooked through.
