Crunchy Cracker Parmesan Chicken

Came across this recipe in the latest Kraft Foods Magazine for Fall 2011. I made a couple changes and made it last night for dinner. It was pretty tasty. We paired it with sweet potato fries and steamed green beans to make for a rather colorful plate. Really tasty! But the crackers lost a bit of their crunch when I reheated it for lunch today.

Ingredients

1 1/2 boneless, skinless chicken breast; should be four pieces
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
15-20 reduced-fat Ritz crackers, crushed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees
-Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray
-In a shallow dish, combine the mayo and lemon juice. Stir or whisk until smooth. Let sit a few minutes.
- In another dish, combine crushed crackers, cheese, and seasoning.
- Dredge the first piece of chicken in the mayo mixture. Then roll it in the crumbs.
-Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
-Repeat for the other pieces of chicken
-Bake 20 minutes, or until cooked through
-Enjoy!
