#3742 - Townhouse Chicken

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 eggs
1 cup crushed Keebler Townhouse butter crackers
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
fresh ground black pepper
salt
4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup butter (cut into small pieces)

In one bowl add the eggs--beat. In a separate bowl add crushed butter crackers, garlic salt, Italian seasoning and some fresh ground black pepper (your choice of amount)--stir to mix. Salt both sides of each chicken breast (to your taste). Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat both sides of the chicken breasts in the cracker mixture. Place them in a greased 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Place the butter pieces around (but NOT on top of) the chicken breasts. Bake at 375 degrees 30 minutes or until chicken is done. When you take them out of the oven you can drizzle a spoonful of the melted butter over each chicken breast. Note: for a crispier coating, double the eggs and double the cracker mixture. When finished coating each chicken breast, dip them back into the egg mixture and cracker mixture a second time (and slightly increase cooking time).
