Crunchy Oven Baked Chicken

This is a crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside version of oven baked chicken that our whole family loves. It’s easy, no-fuss, and perfect for a busy after-work dinner!  Our family's favorite recipe for oven baked chicken uses simple breading made from crushed cracker crumbs! It is a fast and easy dinner, perfect for busy weeknights.

Crunchy Oven Baked Chicken

We eat chicken a lot in this house. It cooks up quickly for weeknight meals and it’s tender enough for the little ones to enjoy. I usually don’t like oven baked chicken but this recipe is one of my favorites. The breading helps seal in the flavor, so the meat is juicy yet falls apart easily. Since it kind of resembles chicken nuggets, my kids love dunking it in their favorite dipping sauces.

When I make this oven baked chicken for dinner, I usually pair it with some cooked brown rice and steamed veggies. I start cooking the rice while preparing the chicken. Then while the chicken is in the oven I steam the veggies. The whole dinner is ready in under 45 minutes, which is pretty good for a healthy, home cooked meal!  

Oven Baked Chicken Ingredients:

2 eggs
1 ½ – 2 cups of crushed buttery snack crackers
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Beat eggs in a shallow bowl.

Place cracker crumbs in a large Ziploc bag with garlic salt and pepper. Shake it well to mix the seasonings with the crumbs.

Dip chicken breasts in egg, then shake (1 at a time) in the Ziploc bag of cracker crumbs. 90’s friends, this might remind you of the Shake ‘n Bake dinners from back in the day. 😉 Arrange the breaded chicken in a greased baking dish and bake at 375° for 30-40 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°. Serve it with your favorite sauce or by itself-it’s got enough flavor to stand on its own!   Our family's favorite recipe for oven baked chicken uses simple breading made from crushed cracker crumbs! It is a fast and easy dinner, perfect for busy weeknights.

Seriously, how easy is that? I hope you enjoy this recipe, and don’t forget to pin it for later! Follow my Family Dinner Recipes board on Pinterest for hundreds of kid-friendly dinner ideas, like oven baked chicken fajitas and this zesty pasta casserole.
