How to Make Baked Garlic Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large shallow glass dish, whisk together: 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon celery salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade.
  4. Turn chicken to ensure even coating. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
  5. Place 1 1/2 cups crushed cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl.
  6. Remove chicken from marinade and gently roll each piece in the cracker crumbs until fully coated.
  7. Transfer coated chicken to a greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons butter and whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  9. Pour butter mixture evenly over the chicken.
  10. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast registers 165°F (74°C), and the juices run clear.
