Italian Parmesan Chicken / Robyne Zollinger

Italian Parmesan Chicken

5-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
1 Cup Ritz Crackers, crushed up
1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning ( I use the McCormick brand in the spice bottle)
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, finely grated. (I use the kind in the little green bottle)
2 Eggs
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Mix the crackers, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese all together. In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 eggs together with a Tbsp. of water. Dip the chicken breast, one at a time, in the egg mixture and then into the crackers. Place in a hot frying pan with the Olive Oil and sear them on both sides. Usually only about 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Place them in a 9x13 baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the oven on 325* for 1 1/2 hours. They should come out really moist.

We like to serve this with stuffing. Or you can cut it up and serve on pasta with Alfredo sauce.
