Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the egg and heavy cream and beat together well. In a separate medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, cheese, basil, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry. Dip each piece into the egg wash and then dredge liberally in the cracker crumb mixture. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry the chicken in the oil for 5 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown and crusty. Place chicken in a 9x13 baking dish and cover with foil.
  • Bake, covered, at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 minutes, then remove foil and bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 more minutes, or until chicken juices run clear.

I'm not a big fan of Mediterranean food, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the crust was crispy.
