Cheesy Baked Chicken
This dish features boneless chicken breasts coated in a savoury crust made from crushed crackers, cheddar cheese, and garlic. The chicken is dipped in butter before being covered in the crumb mixture and baked until golden. It results in a moist interior with a wonderfully crunchy, cheesy topping. The recipe is straightforward and yields a comforting main course ideal for a weeknight meal.
