These butter chicken breasts are baked with butter after being covered in whisked eggs and cracker crumbs. These chicken breasts have a great flavor and are very soft and juicy. My food is never left over.

I made this. So easy, so tasty! My huband asks for this a lot. Perfect for 2 people!
Very tasty! Even my very picky 6 year old loves it!!
Love this – simple and flavorful. I use Panko instead of cracker crumbs. To the Panko I add about 1/4 c flour, salt, pepper, 1 tsp dry thyme, garlic and onion powder. I serve with a lemon garlic butter sauce. Delightful!
Liked it a lot. First chicken I didn’t use any sauce while eating.
It was really easy and really tasty. They stayed juicy but beware do not over cook the timing was spot on. I took the advice of some others and added a bit of salt, pepper, and oregano to the mayo mixture and I also used garlic and herb bread crumbs which made the flavor amazing:) Im saving the left overs to cut up and put on top of our salads for lunch tomorrow. Next time I will add spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese on top to make it into chicken parm!! Yummy!!
This recipe was so simple yet delicious. I shared it with family and friends that are cooks like me, we don’t love to cook.
taste so good
Sounds very tasty and simple to make for a quick meal, I’ll try it tonight for me and wife, but me being me I’ll naturally add more herbs/spices to mine. Has anyone tried it with Olive Oil since my wife is allergic it to butter???
I made this but I added fresh lemon juice from 2 lemons. Baked as directed. Garnished with chopped parsley and thinly sliced lemon. So good.
Very much enjoyed this recipe. However I did add some additional seasoning. Old Bay added the cracker coating gave this dish a little pop of flavor.
Meh. Even after a seasoning boost and brining it was bland and a bit dry.
Made it tonight for dinner. It was easy to follow the recipe and delicious to eat. Made a sauce from the drippings. Will make it again.. . 7- 17-23
This was everything and more. So simple and so good!!!!!
Tasteless. Waste of my time.
The chicken was very tender and delicious. Served it with roasted asparagus… Even my husband lived it.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I tried this tonight, it was very good! My chicken breasts were pretty thick, so I baked it 45-50 minutes, basting it twice and flipped it about 30 mins in. I did what another reviewer did: coated with eg, placed the chicken on a plate and seasoned it, then dropped it in the cracker crumbs. My husband made some rosemary salt, so I used that and pepper. Tossed on a little garlic salt and then the cracker crumbs. Next time I will put under broiler to crisp up the top. I served it atop a big salad. but it would be wonderful with scalloped potatoes and a green veggie…..comfort food!
I made it in my airfryer. Put some foil in the basket and baked it for 20 mins. Was delish will make it again
was a meh…
I think I’d rather have the seasoning on my CHICKEN, and not in the crumbs ….. tyvm that way I can put it where I want it, thereby lessening what I toss out when I toss any remaining crumbs. your welcome 😉
I haven’t made this recipe, but I make one similar. I melt butter in my pampered chef stoneware while I season my chicken, just sprinkle salt pepper, onion and garlic powder on both sides of chicken (I use boneless skinless thighs) crush the garlic flavored ritz crackers and press onto the chicken, lay a thin slice pat of butter on top and bake in 400 degree oven. Timing varies from 20 to 45 minutes depending on size of thighs and how many I bake. Toasty golden brown yummy chicken. My husband loves this. I do use real butter.
My crumb coating did not brown. I will brown prior to oven.
