Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 2 hrs Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
• 3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 6 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• ritz cracker, crushed
• grated parmesan cheese

Recipe

• 1 cut fat from chicken if necessary. cut chicken into bite-size pieces. place chicken in a bowl or large ziplock bag.
• 2 combine next 9 ingredients and add to chicken. mix chicken with marinate to combine evenly throughout. place in refrigerator and marinate for 1 - 2 hours.
• 3 place chicken mixture in a 7 x 11 pyrex pan.
• 4 sprinkle with enough crushed ritz crackers to cover the top evenly.
• 5 bake in a preheated 350 degree fahrenheit for 15 minutes until chicken is done.
• 6 once chicken is removed from oven sprinkle with enough parmesan cheese to your liking. making sure it is sprinkled while chicken is hot so it can melt into the chicken, which gives it a pronounced "parmesany" taste.
• 7 note: some of you might think that 15 minutes is not enough time, but because your dealing with the breast and the size (bite-size), it cooks quickly. therefore, be careful not to overcook or else the chicken will be dry and unappealing.
