Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut in half
• 2 cups cheese flavored crackers (such as Cheez-It®), crushed
• 1 cup French-fried onions, crushed
• 2 teaspoons sesame seed, toasted
• 0.5 cup Italian bread crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine crackers, onions, bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Wash and pat dry chicken breasts. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each breast; press into cracker mixture, mayonnaise-side down. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on other side of each breast; cover with cracker mixture, patting firmly until it adheres. Place coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cracker mixture on top; lightly coat chicken with cooking spray.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until breasts are no longer pink in centers and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
