For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the cracker mixture. If you find the cracker coating is browning too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. If necessary, pound them gently with a meat mallet to achieve a consistent thickness. Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
