Ritz Chicken

This recipe is a family fave and super easy.

Chicken Breasts
2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
a bit of olive oil

Drizzle a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl (enough to coat chicken).  Crush crackers I use a food processor but you could put them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin or something.  Then put them on a plate or dish.  Take chicken breast dip in olive oil and then coat chicken in cracker crust.  Then place on baking sheet.  Cook for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

This is a very moist yummy chicken breast.  ENJOY!
