Delicious Crusted Chicken
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cheese flavored crackers (such as Cheez-It®), crushed
  • 1 cup French-fried onions, crushed
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seed, toasted
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, which is 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a baking dish and lightly mist it with cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
3
Meanwhile, combine cheese-flavored crackers, French-fried onions, Italian bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set the mixture aside for now.
4
Wash and gently pat dry chicken breasts to remove excess moisture. On one side of each breast, apply a thin layer of mayonnaise, making sure to cover the entire surface. Place these mayonnaise-coated breasts face down in the bowl containing the cracker mixture, pressing them firmly into the top layer.
5
On the other side of each breast, apply another thin layer of mayonnaise and cover it with a generous amount of the cracker mixture, pressing firmly into the breast to secure it. Place these coated breasts on the prepared baking dish.
6
Finally, sprinkle any remaining cracker mixture over the top of the chicken breasts and lightly spray them with cooking spray to ensure even browning.
7
Bake the chicken in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
