Pollo al horno con parmesano y Ritz

Ingredientes

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cups Ritz cracker crumbs or other buttery cracker crumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup butter (sliced into 16 pieces)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional for sprinkling after baking)
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with non-stick baking spray to prevent sticking and prepare it for the chicken.

2. 2

   Mix Cracker Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the Ritz cracker crumbs, garlic salt, seasoned salt, parsley flakes, and 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.

3. 3

   Coat Chicken: Coat each chicken breast on both sides with plain Greek yogurt. Then roll each breast thoroughly in the cracker mixture until fully coated. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.

4. 4

   Add Butter Slices: Slice the 1/4 cup butter into 16 equal pieces and place two slices of butter on top of each coated chicken breast to add richness and moisture during baking.

5. 5

   Bake the chicken uncovered for 45 minutes. Check at 30 minutes; if the chicken is browning too much, cover loosely with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time to prevent burning while allowing the chicken to cook through.

6. 6

   Optional Garnish: After baking, if desired, sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the chicken breasts for extra flavor and an attractive presentation.
