Thank you.

Try dipping the chicken in cream of chicken soup, then in cracker/bread crumbs, and drizzleing the melted butter over the top. Bake. You can't help but scrape up all the little bits off the pan and eat them. This is SOOOOOO delicious. We add whatever type of seasoning to the bread/cracker crumbs.

Jessica says:

Made this tonight & it was very yummy!! The only thing I'll do differently next time is bake the chicken on a wire rack, so the that bottom doesn't get soggy. Thanks for another great recipe! :)

I made this earlier this week and it was delicious!! I'm always looking for easy to make chicken recipes that I can reuse in different ways for my lunch at work, and this is the best one I've found so far. I added crushed red pepper flakes to give it a bit of heat and it was so good!! Definitely using this one again
