  1. 1

    Crush the sleeve of Ritz crackers in a large bowl until it's fine enough to use as breading.

    Add pepper, salt and parsley flakes to the Ritz cracker breading, then mix.

  3. 3

    Thaw out the breast of chicken, then rinse briefly with water.

  4. 4

    Roll each piece of chicken through the breading, then add 1 tablespoon of Extra virgin olive oil to the bottom of the Pyrex pan. This to give it a little taste and to help it not stick to the Pyrex.

    Whatever breading you have left, add it over the top of the pieces that are in the dish.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle all of the shredded cheese over the chicken, then add more olive oil (1 tablespoon) to the top.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes iff chicken is still frozen, 30 minutes if thawed.
