Notes
For a crispier crust, you can double coat the chicken by repeating the egg and cracker coating step. If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cracker mixture. To ensure the chicken cooks evenly, pound the breasts to an even thickness before coating. Always check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
