Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Lightly grease a baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season lightly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Using reliable cooking tools and premium cookware sets helps ensure evenly cooked juicy chicken.
Step 2: Crush the Ritz Crackers
Place the Ritz crackers into a food processor or sealed bag and crush them into fine crumbs.
Transfer the cracker crumbs into a shallow bowl.
The buttery crackers create the signature crispy coating that makes this recipe so comforting and flavorful.
Fresh cracker crumbs provide better texture than prepackaged breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken
In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with crushed Ritz crackers.
Press the cracker coating gently onto the chicken for maximum crispiness.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4: Add Butter and Bake
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the coated chicken.
Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cracker coating becomes golden brown and crispy.
For extra crispy texture, broil during the final 2 minutes.
High-quality casserole dishes help create evenly baked crunchy chicken.
Step 5: Optional Creamy Sauce and Serve
For a creamy casserole-style variation, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth in a saucepan and warm gently.
Serve the creamy sauce over the crispy Ritz Cracker Chicken if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
