Step three: In a separate shallow bowl whisk eggs.
Step four: Next pound your chicken as needed to make them even in size for cooking. Place chicken in egg and allow excess to drip off.
Step five: Now you can place your chicken into your seasoned crackers. Once coated place in your prepared dish. Repeat with each chicken breast.

All three of my kids love this! It is now a staple in our house.
How do you brush something already covered in crumbs with butter? Won't the crumbs just get brushed off?
You can brush or drizzle, whatever works best for you.
This is looking great and crust is looking just wow.
