Instructions: Easy Crispy Baked Chicken Recipes
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.
Step 2: Mix together crushed crackers, seasoned salt, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
Step 3: Dip chicken breasts into melted margarine, then press into cracker mixture until coated. Arrange chicken in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
Just finished eating this for Thanksgiving (I don't eat pork), using french-fried onions. This chicken was to die for. It was brown, moist, and oh, so delicious. Thought my ham-eating guys would eat just ham, but once they tasted the chicken - well, I'm not going to have much left for lunch later this week.I will be making this recipe many times in the months to come.
I didn't have saltines, but I had collected broken crackers/crumbs from pita crackers and Tam Tams which was why I was attracted to this recipe in the first place.. My retired husband stood over me while I used larger than dust cracker crumbs and no egg. He criticized the entire time: "the breading is going to fall off" . Short story....the crumbs did not fall off and he loved it as did our grandchildren. So easy to make and easy to clean up. I will make it again! Used only the boneless breasts, but next time might use boneless thighs. My family loves dark meat.
My family LOVES this chicken ! It tastes just like the fried chicken we buy at the local chicken restaurant. It is crispy and juicy. The crust tastes wonderful. A healthier option than frying for sure ! We put a few cheese crackers in the mix one time and it was a nice twist. We could taste just a hint of cheese in the crust.
It was good, but do you think it would be as crispy in an airfryer?
I used chicken tenders so I reduced the temp and cook time but followed the recipe otherwise. It was so good I forwarded it to my friends!
Unfortunately, I did not have any Saltines so I used a combination of Panko crumbs and other cracker crumbs. We loved the chicken! We will definitely be making this again soon! Easy and delicious!
Easy and delicious! I substituted French fried onions(crushed) cause I had no saltine crackers and these chicken breasts came out amazing?!
Love this recipe as is. It's fast, easy, very adaptable, and popular with guests and family. I love saltine based breadings, especially when combined with seasoned flour and crushed potato chips. Years ago I had a friend who worked at KFC. He gave me some of their seasoned flour. There are copycat recipes for KFC seasoning on this site and they work well with this recipe. As another comment stated, this is great with breaded pork chops. Thanks for this easy recipe.
This recipe was so easy, fast, delicious and looked even better. I only added a small amount of olive oil and salted butter to the melted margarine.....everything must have olive oil if garlic is present. The only problem was mine; I allowed the bottom darken just a little too much and I left it bottom side down of course. Thanks, I get all my recipes from Allrecipes. My wife loved it as well. Gary W.
