Instructions
- Prepare three shallow dishes: milk, shredded cheese, and crushed Ritz crackers seasoned with salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Slice chicken if thick, then dip each piece into milk, coat with cheese, and press into cracker crumbs.
- Place coated chicken in a greased baking dish, sprinkle with leftover crumbs, cover with foil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10-15 minutes until golden.
