Butter Chicken
- 3 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Seasoning Salt To Taste
- Pepper To Taste
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- 2 teaspoons Water
- 1 package (1 Sleeve, About 5 Oz.) Buttery Crackers (I Prefer Club Crackers For This Recipe)
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Or Up To 3 Tablespoons As Needed
- Pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/4 thick.
- Thoroughly dry the chicken breasts with a paper towel.
- The coating sticks better to dry chicken breasts.
- Generously sprinkle the breasts with seasoning salt and pepper.
- Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a shallow dish and add 2 teaspoons of water.
- Beat the eggs.
- Add one sleeve of buttery crackers to a large resealable bag.
- I prefer Club Crackers for this dish, but you can certainly use your favorite brand.
- Use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into very fine crumbs.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan as it is heating.
- When the butter has melted and the foaming has subsided, you are ready to add the chicken.
- To coat the chicken, dip each piece (separately) into the eggs and then into the crushed crackers.
- Make sure the chicken is well coated on all sides.
- Add to the skillet and repeat with the remaining breasts.
- Fry the breasts until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes.
- If the breasts are browning too fast, reduce the heat.
- When golden brown, flip the breasts.
- If the pan is pretty dry, go ahead and add another 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Its called Butter Chicken for a reason!
- Fry until brown, another 2 to 3 minutes.
- I like to dip the chicken in a little ranch dressing with some sauteed vegetables on the side.
- However, my absolute favorite way to eat them is in a sandwich made with some toasted bread, mayo, lettuce, and tomatoparticularly yummy.
- Ive also used chicken tenderloins before and added them to the top of a big salad.
- The options are endless.
