Cheese Cracker-Coated Baked Chicken

Steps

• Chicken Directions

• 1

  Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
• 2

  Place cheese crackers in a large zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or rubber mallet to crush the crackers into very fine pieces. Sprinkle onion powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper into the bag, seal it shut and shake to mix.
• 3

  Whisk the eggs in a large, shallow bowl. Set near the bag of crushed crackers.
• 4

  Working with one chicken breast at a time, dip the chicken into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Coat on all sides with egg, shake off any excess, then place the chicken in the bag with the crushed cheese crackers.

  Seal the bag shut and shake to coat the chicken. Press down on the chicken to ensure the crackers stick to it.
• 6

  Transfer the crusted chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
• 7

  Lightly spray the chicken with baking spray, then bake at 425°F for about 18-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
