This one’s a crowd pleaser!

Our boys loved this homemade crispy chicken – with the buttery goodness of crushed Ritz, combined with tang from the cheddar cheese, a little garlic and a punch of flavor from fresh chives. It’s just a fabulous combo for chicken breasts!

I pounded and slice the chicken breasts, but this same amount of crackers would work for 10-12 chicken tenders too!

Enjoy!
