Ritz Cracker Crumb Chicken Recipes

RITZ CRACKER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Cut chicken into pieces of desired size. I like to make them small (2" chunks) so I can use more crackers.
• Crumble crackers into a bowl (crumbs should not be too small) and mix in cheese.
• Coat chicken with melted butter and then roll in cracker crumb mix. Place on baking sheet or pan and sprinkle more crumbs on top.
• After all pieces are coated, drizzle remaining butter over chicken and top with remaining crackers.
• Bake at 375 for 18-22 minutes (longer if pieces are large) or until center of chicken is no longer pink.

RITZ CRACKER CRUMB CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• Place Ritz crackers in the blender and blend until finer than breadcrumbs.
• Melt butter completely (I microwave it).
• Dip chicken in melted butter.
• Coat chicken in Ritz crumbs and place on baking sheet.
• Bake for 45 minutes.

RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
• In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
• Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.

FAMOUS BUTTER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place eggs and cracker crumbs in two separate shallow bowls. Mix cracker crumbs with garlic salt and pepper. Dip chicken in the eggs, then dredge in the crumb mixture to coat.
• Arrange coated chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place pieces of butter around the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
