So um. I don't cook. Like ever. My fiancee is the chef around here. But, due to circumstances beyond my control, dinner was up to me last night.
Guys.
I SUCCEEDED.
My chicken got such rave reviews that I had to share the recipe with my loyal Zebras. It was seriously so moist and delicious that even my finicky 2 year old had some. So, here you go. YOU'RE WELCOME.
My (now) Famous Butter Chicken
You'll need:
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken bewbies (I actually used bewbies on the bone, all I did was increase the cook time)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup crushed buttery cracker rounds. The more crushed, the better. I didn't crush so well, as you can see. Do as I say, not as I do, children.
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- Ground black pepper to taste (I just shook my pepper shaker over the bowl a few times, because who really knows what the hell that means)
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
How to do it:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them. Beat them like they slapped your mama.
- Combine the crushed crackers, garlic salt and pepper in a separate bowl.
- Coat your bewbies (preferably the chicken ones, but, no judgment here!) in the eggs, then dredge them in your cracker mix.
- Place the chicken into a 9x13 baking dish. (I didn't have one, so I just put them in two oven safe dishes.)
- Put the pieces of butter all around the chicken. Like so.
- Put chicken in oven and cook for 40 mins. (Since my chicken wasn't boneless, I had to up the cook time to 55 mins.)
The finished product (I cut into the chicken to ensure it was done because it was so moist that I wasn't positive):
That's it. THAT'S. FREAKING. IT. The chicken comes out moist and your "breading" is delicious and complimentary. Such a quick and easy dish, right? Bookmark this page so you can save it for later and share it with your friends! I've been a single mom and I know what it's like to need to feed kids on the fly.
Happy cooking!! :)
