Crispy Ritz Cracker Chicken – Golden, Flavorful & Kid-Friendly Crunch

👩‍🍳 Instructions – 5 Simple Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the coating: In a shallow dish, mix crushed Ritz crackers, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Dip the chicken: Brush or dip each chicken piece in melted butter, then coat thoroughly in the cracker mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
4. Bake: Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or brush a little extra butter on top for extra crispiness. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F / 74°C).
5. Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a crisp salad.
