I used Ritz crackers to make mine and the chicken was so moist and tender. The coating on the outside was crunchy and very tasty. We all loved it and will be having it again soon!

What's not to love about this chicken! I sprayed with cooking spray instead of using the butter to cut down on the fat, but we loved it just the same!

Very good and quick. Followed the recipe as written except that I turned the chicken over for the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

This is a well written recipe that was easy to follow and quick to prepare. It uses ingredients that I always have on hand. I added a little less butter than it called for and added a little paprike to the ritz cracker crumbs. The end result was a very moist, tender and delicious chicken entree. Thanks for sharing your recipe MaryAlice!
