Crispy Ritz Cracker Chicken: A Comfort Food Classic

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Cracker Coating:

In a shallow bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Prepare the Wet Coating:

In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and melted butter until smooth.
Coat the Chicken:

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush each piece with the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Dredge the chicken in the crushed cracker mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs to all sides.
Bake the Chicken:

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Serve:

Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, and enjoy!
