Oven Fried Chicken
I was looking for a recipe that I could use with the 6 individually wrapped chicken breasts that my neighbor had given me. I make suppers most of the week for the 2 to 4 of us. She had supplied the chicken. I had to decide how I was going to make it.
I wanted an easy to make recipe that required very little from me. I cannot fry chicken on the stove. It always seems to be undercooked. But, I wanted fried chicken. For some reason, my mind went to oven fried chicken.
I Googled Oven Fried Chicken. I came up with quite a few recipes but I didn't have most of the ingredients that they needed. I started thinking about what I had in the house. Finally, I came up with an idea and put it into play.
My neighbor and I really enjoyed these chicken breasts with mashed potatoes, green beans and cream gravy. These chicken breasts were great warmed up the next day. Even though I did not add any herbs or spices to the crushed crackers, there was no need for them. They were perfect.
Ingredients
- 6 Chicken Breasts
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise, approximately (doesn't have to be precise)
- 2 T milk (just enough to thin the mayonnaise)
- 2 rolls of Ritz Fresh Stacks wheat crackers
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Rinse and dry your chicken breasts.
- Mix the mayonnaise and milk in a bowl.
- Crush your Ritz crackers. I just crushed them in the little packages and put them in a gallon ziplock baggie.
- Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on both sides of the chicken breasts. I used my hands to do this.
- Place chicken breast in the gallon baggie with the crushed crackers and shake.
- Place coated chicken breast on a cookie sheet that has been covered with tin foil. I like to do this for easy cleanup.
- Put cookie sheet in the oven in the center rack and bake for 1 hour. About midway through, turn the chicken to brown the bottom.
