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.
