Imagine this: a cozy evening, your kitchen filled with the irresistible scent of butter and spices, hinting at the delicious meal about to be served.
That’s the magic of this Famous Butter Chicken recipe—a dish that turns simple ingredients into a flavorful, comforting feast.
Whether you’re an experienced cook or a kitchen newbie, this recipe is crafted to impress, combining ease with the rich, buttery taste that makes every bite memorable.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ready to soak up all the flavors.
- 2 beaten eggs, providing the perfect binding for a crispy coating.
- 1 cup of crushed Ritz crackers (or your favorite butter crackers), for a satisfying crunch.
- ½ cup butter, cut into pieces—because butter here is not just an ingredient, it’s the star.
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt, adding a savory depth.
- Black pepper to taste, for that essential hint of spice.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F, preparing for a delicious meal ahead.
In a 9×13 pan, scatter a few butter pieces across the bottom. Place it in the oven briefly, just until the butter melts. Remove and spread it evenly, coating the entire pan in buttery goodness.
In one bowl, mix the crushed crackers with garlic salt and black pepper, creating a savory, crunchy coating.
In a second bowl, beat the eggs—this will help the coating stick to the chicken.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then press it into the cracker mixture, making sure it’s fully covered in the seasoned crumbs.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the buttered pan. Dot the tops with the remaining butter pieces for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked, no longer pink in the center, and the crumb coating turns golden brown.
