Yield: 4 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes


Ingredients

16 Ritz crackers, crushed (about 3⁄4 cup)

6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated or shredded

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Kosher salt and black pepper
4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, combine the crackers, cheese, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Dip the chicken in the butter, then in the cracker mixture, pressing gently to help the crackers adhere. 

Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Sprinkle any remaining cracker mixture on the chicken and drizzle with any remaining butter. 

Bake until the chicken is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
