Delicious!! Loved the buttery flavor of the Ritz. I reduced the recipe to 2 chicken breasts with no problem. I only cooked the boneless breasts for 20 minutes. Will be using this one again. Made for Zaar's Newest Hits Tag Game 2011.

We had mixed reviews of this recipe. It gets 5 stars for the great flavor of the Ritz crackers and the mayo-Dijon combination. I used 4 chicken thighs and doubled the breading. The flour dusting kept the Ritz/parmesan from sticking to the chicken so after the first 2 chicken thighs I left that out for the remainder of the thighs and we liked that much better. I cooked it for about 30 minutes and it turned out perfect. I'll make this one again, just leaving out the flour dusting. Thanks Nancy. Made for PRMR
