How to Make Ritz Y Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) in the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Remove chicken breasts from the refrigerator and coat thoroughly in the cracker mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place chicken breasts on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Drizzle chicken with an additional 1/4 cup melted butter.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
