Chicken Muenster
Chicken From The Oven
Prep time:
10 minutesCooking time:
55 minutes“Butter cracker crumbs give these chicken breasts a melt-in-your-mouth crust, but generic or store-brand saltines are much less expensive and give perfectly good results in this recipe.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 28 butter crackers, crushed into 1 cup crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 slices Muenster cheese
- 1 (4-ounce) can mushrooms
Directions
1
Combine chicken and eggs in a shallow bowl. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
Spread cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. Coat chicken with crumbs. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
3
Arrange chicken in a small baking dish. Combine lemon juice, wine and chicken broth in a small bowl. Pour over chicken.
4
Layer cheese and mushrooms over chicken. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes.

Out of crackers? Crush any unsweetened cereal, such as corn or bran flakes, for an equally crunchy crust.
Great Pairings
Lemon-Dill Asparagus
When asparagus is out of season, or too pricey for your budget, you can save money and still serve a delicious side dish by using green beans. Choose either fresh green beans or the frozen French-cut variety.
