Ingredients
– 1 egg
– 1/2 cup milk
– 2 cups crushed ritz crackers about 50 ritz crackers
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp onion powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
– 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
– 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
– 1/2 cup melted butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a medium shallow bowl or pie plate, mix together the egg and the milk. Set aside.

In another pie plate or shallow bowl gently whisk together the cracker crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper, and poultry seasoning.

TIP: You can mix it up by using different spices in the crumb mixture. Italian spice works very well.

One at a time, dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, dredge them in the crumb mixture, making sure to thoroughly coat each piece, then place them in the prepared baking dish.

TIP: After putting the chicken into the baking dish you can sprinkle a little more of the crumb mixture on top before drizzling the butter over it if you want a thicker crumb coating.

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the chicken. Bake for 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside, and a meat thermometer reads 165F.
