Part 2: Make Crunchy Coated Chicken

easy meal idea crumb chicken kids cooking lessons
1 ½ Cup butter crackers, crushed
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 quart buttermilk
4-6 Chicken breasts

Spray your baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Lay out two flat casserole dishes or pie plates. In one dish pour buttermilk (buttermilk makes chicken moist but you can also use milk). In the other dish mix cracker crumbs, paprika, and pepper.

You don’t need to add salt as that is already in the crackers. Lay out another baking dish next to the cracker crumb dish. Take one chicken breast and place in buttermilk.

Pick up chicken and coat with the cracker crumb mixture. Now place in the baking dish. Repeat with all chicken breasts. Adult should bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes until no longer pink. Serves 4.
