Recipe View Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chicken.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to the crushed saltine crackers.
If you prefer a crispier crust, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
This recipe works well with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but reduce the baking time to about 30-40 minutes to avoid overcooking.
