Crush the sleeve of Ritz crackers in a large bowl until it's fine enough to use as breading. Boneless chicken breasts coated in a Ritz cracker crumb coating, pan-fried until crispy, and served with a cheddar cheese sauce. Kids really love these Cheesy Chicken Breasts and they make a wonderful mid-week meal. Crushed Ritz crackers are one of my favorite things to use as a coating for chicken or a casserole. Remove the chicken and add the soup, water, onion powder and rice to the skillet.
