crunchy garlic chicken

Like other comments, I found the coating did not want to stick to the chicken. I will try the mixture without the butter next time - will try rubbing the chicken with the butter rather than include it in the mixture.

Just tried this, was very very nice!!! was a little bit annoying to put the crums on as they wouldnt stick but got there in the end! when cooked it was all covered so was fine! also i left it in for 5 mins longer than stated as my highest oven temperature was lower than the one stated but I didnt need to leave it in cz they went a little bit too done! but not burnts so was good!! loved it!

I'm 18 from Geneva, i just did this receipt, a great success.... really good and amazing... thanks Jamie....

I used the food processor, and I ended up adding almost a WHOLE SLEEVE of saltines and it was STILL a buttery, mushy MESS. I ended up "Molding" the cracker gunk around the chicken breasts and baking it for a LONG time. It ended up coming out alright. I probably will skip the butter next time-or only use 1/2 tbsp or something.

LOVE THIS RECIPE! Have written a short blog post about it here: http://toomanycookbooks.tumblr.com/post/16013656696/crunchy-garlic-chicken<br /> I am trying to cook something from every single cook book I own and blogging about it!

I LOVED this recipe. Have written a short review on my blog http://toomanycookbooks.tumblr.com/post/16013656696/crunchy-garlic-chicken <br /> I am attempting to cook something from every cook book I own this year and I'm blogging as I go.<br />

Absolutely LOVE this recipe! I have made it several times in the last month since I first heard about it. It is simple and delicious. I baked the chicken instead of frying. I also played around a bit with the amount of butter I put in. I used about half of what it calls for. Thought it tasted just as good and less guilt! I made with asparagus and wild rice. By far one of my favorites and my new go to recipe!

My new years resolution has been to become a better cook, this recipe has become my new staple go to for chicken, I LOVE it! My husband first made it one evening for my kids, while we were getting ready to go out for dinner. I almost wanted to skip the restaurant and stay and eat this with them!!!

what if we do not have a food processor?..what the best to do..??

Jamie, is it possible to substitute the crackers with breadcrumbs in the same manner (ie, flour, egg, breadcrumbs)? I understand the texture won't be quite the same, but I have a large bagful of breadcrumbs in my freezer!

Made this tonight exactly as written. (Baked) It was AWESOME! Definitely crunchy and full of flavor. Everyone loved it. I will absolutely be making this again!!

If its too mushy... add an extra cracker - are you guys adding the lemon juice or just the zest?<br /> mine came out lovely n crispy!<br />

I think this dish was fantastic. I used Jacobs Cream Crackers and it came out delicious! I disagree with the comments about the mixture being too mushy however the chicken was a little on the dry side. One of the tastiest things i've tasted and going to make it for my local masterchef competition.<br /> Thanks Jamie! :)

Randomly found this recipe on here this morning and knocked them up this evening using pork instead. Holy crumb but they were good! My son was trés impressed and very disappointed when they were no more. Served with Moroccan couscous and a good leafy salad. YUM!<br /> Ta Jamie.<br /> X

These are one of my childrens' favourites. Great with wraps and salad. Have tried lemon and black pepper instead of the garlic and that was fab! Keep up the great work Jamie, you make a busy single mum's life easier!<br />

would like to recieve your recipes every day they are super

Regarding the "Saltines" confusion, I have made this with both soda crackers and panko, and both worked well.

Very nice recipe and extremely quick and easy to make. Great dish to accompany a nice, green salad. The comment from Ingrid about saltines and American obesity is offensive and unnecessary. First off, saltines (or crackers) are just as good for breading as normal breadcrumbs and provide a better texture profile. Secondly, while Americans do lead in obesity percentages, the UK is third on the list behind us. There's not much room for stone-throwing in that glass house of yours, Ingrid.

Saltines?? Good lord, this is just the reason that Americans are obese. Flour=GMO=Insulin response! Love ya Jamie, but c'mon!

Mixture was too mushy, yuck!

Lovely! The chicken was thoroughly cooked yet not dried out. Really easy too! (I used cream crackers) Thank you Jamie!

@ Leah<br /> Saltines are called salada biscuits in Australia.

going to try this tonite but will use panko instead of crackers! sounds delish<br />

I made this with no trouble at all! It's featured in the 30 minute meal book of Jamie's and in there tells you to use cream crackers which is what I used and came out great! The lemon gives such a nice kick to this recipe.<br /> <br /> I did a 2nd attempt as my first was so nice but this time I added garlic, chili powder, and jerk seasoning and came out great! The different variations you can create are endless! No need to buy the ready made breaded chicken again :D

I am making this for the 2nd time tonight. I couldn't find saltine crackers so I just substituted it with Asda's garlic crackers. Because the garlic is quite prominent in the crackers you could choose to leave it out of the recipe. The 1st time I used garlic and it wasn't too strong but I think it will be down to personal taste. I make these with homemade salt and pepper wedges which always go down a treat in my house. This is something I will be making many times in the future and if we manage to get a summer I think I might even give them a go on the BBQ. Overall these are very yummy (",)

It turned out pretty well considering I did not have a food processor (the mixture was mushy because of this...had to sort of press in the butter)!! Yummy, though! Will definitely do again, even if I don't have a food processor!

This did not work out at all. The rub was too mushy and would not stick. I'm very disappointed.

Saltine crackers are available at most Morrrisons and Tescos stores. They are sometimes called Italian Crackers. The ones I get come in multi-packs and are white packaging. Going to try this recipe this week I think!

What are the crackers???? i am living in Australia does anyone no a substitute?????

will this do for a competition

I didn't use the butter to make it a little healthier and it came out fine- and it worked fine with the blender!!

For all the people struggling to find saltine crackers...they are just basically cream crackers!

Don't try this without a food processor. I tried with a stick blender. When I added the butter it turned into one big blob. Did not work.

All this food look very good but how many calories is in this stuff???? Isnt that the whole point to know everything about what you are eating???

Sorry Jamie but why post a recipe on a UK website when one of the [integral] ingredients isn't available to buy in the UK ?<br /> For everyone else - substitute Matzo crackers - available in most UK supermarkets.

Just baked this chicken, so yummy! I made it for strips on a salad tomorrow, which is going to be very good. but I had to sample it first :) Can't wait to make this again for a potluck! It's easy too!

Just baked this chicken. So yummy! I baked it ahead of time, so tomorrow I'll have chicken strips to put on salad. I had to sample it first of course! Can't wait to make this for a potluck.

I would love to try this recipe but i am having trouble finding Saltine crackers anywhere. Do you know where i could find them as i have searched the supermarkers or is there an alternative i could use?<br />

MY Family LOVED it!!!!! It was by far one of the best chicken recipes I have ever made. My husband wants me to cook this every week. Tonight I will cook it again for my in-laws. Thanks Jamie :-)

The lemon zest was so key in this recipe!! Really, the flavor combination was fantastic with everything. I added a bit of ground allspice to the crumb mix. as well, and served the chicken with roasted baby artichokes with a lemon/garlic/oregano aioli. Delicious!

I absolutely love this recipe. I've made it a couple of times now and everyone has had the same reaction - they want more! I've even had people fighting over the last piece of chicken.

I have found that grilling it is the best option and even if you leave it in for a bit longer (I like my chicken a little dry) the juices still keep it succulent. Topped with a piece of lemon and served with either couscous or potatoes and veg - I even have people used to topping every meal with loads of tomatoe sauce (my personal pet peeve) actually eating it as is.

made it last night. was awesome. i baked it.. so papa is trying it out today. he is gonna fry it. cant wait :D

looks so awesome :D
will try it out and put a feedback here :)
