How To Make crispy cracker butter chicken

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, place the 2 beaten eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine the crushed crackers, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Step 3

Dredge a chicken breast in the beaten egg.
Step 4

Then, dredge the chicken in the cracker mixture.
Step 5

Place in the prepared baking pan. Repeat with the other three chicken breasts.
Step 6

Place the cubed butter evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 7

Bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken breast reads 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.
Step 8

To brown the top of the chicken, turn the oven broiler on for the last 5 minutes keeping an eye on the chicken to ensure it does not burn.
