Baked Cracker Chicken

Ingredients
*6 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
*1/2 to 3/4 stick of melted butter
*3/4 pack of Ritz crackers

Special Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash chicken before battering to remove any film (this will cause batter to fall off).
3. Melt 1/2 stick of butter to start with, adding more as needed.
4. Smash about 3/4 pack (not box) of Ritz crackers in wrapping. Pour only small amounts in bowl for covering chicken - if you pour it all at once, the crackers will get soggy. Also, leaving small pieces of the crackers adds extra texture and taste to final product vs. smashing crumbs finely.
5. Line baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and provide covering for chicken while baking as well as easy clean up!

Directions
Simply dip washed chicken tenderloin into bowl of melted butter, then covering completely with cracker crumbs.

Line pieces touching one another in baking dish, sprinkling with salt and pepper. (This is something you'll have to guess at - depending on how much your family likes. I shake the shakers several times over each piece.)

Bake for 45 minutes, or until chicken juices are clear when you cut. Be careful not to overcook, or chicken will turn out tough.
