1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (the kind in the green can or fresh)
1 cup Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt, Honey Flavored (Could use plain yogurt or milk to dip the chicken, too)
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Put the Ritz crackers in a plastic ziploc bag and finely crush with a rolling pin. Add cheese to the bag and mix well. Dip chicken pieces in the yogurt and then in the crumb mixture. Place chicken in a sprayed casserole dish, drizzle melted butter over the chicken and bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes until chicken is done inside. Makes 4 servings. I think you will love the ritzy cheesy taste of this chicken. I can eat it cold right out of the fridge. Enjoy!

Absolutely delicious!
I always run out of breading, do I doubled it along with the melted butter…and perfect.
I used Greek Vanilla Yogurt and put like 3T of honey in it. Glad I got a picture before all of it is gone.
This was delicious! Everyone loved it and so easy! Thank you! Thank you!
Just made this for dinner and it was so good. The chicken was so moist and tasty. Thanks very much for the recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve made this twice and everyone has loved it! I have split the cracker mix in half and added Nashville hot chicken spices to one. Both the plain and the spicy are awesome. The chicken stays so moist and juicy.
Wonderful! So glad this recipe was a hit!
Made this tonight and it is AWESOME! Thank you for your recipes.
Yay!! So glad it was such a hit! We love this one too.
I just made this and we really enjoyed it. Didn’t havee the yogurt, so I used evaporated milk. Then we drizzled Mikes Hot Honey on it at the table. YUMM!!! We’ll be making this again for sure. Thanks!!
Wonderful! So glad it worked out 🙂
Southern Lady I just made your recipe for this Parmesan chicken and it was wonderful my husband and I loved it, I served it with green beans and buttered rice and homemade yeast rolls and blackberry cobbler for desert, thank you for all of your recipes they are so good.
Oh goodness, I am so glad this was such a hit! Thank you for being such a wonderful supporter of our website. Have a wonderful week!
about how many crackers in a sleeve?
Good question. I am wondering the same thing myself. I don’t believe that we can purchase them as sleeves in Canada.
I just googled it and it says 35 crackers.
Here in the states, they’re sold in boxes, not sleeves, but inside the box, they separate the crackers into the “sleeves” just to help keep them fresh. Several sleeves to a box. This recipe looks delicious! I’m making it today. 🙂
I will have to try this, I make a similar one, was my husbands favorite, dipped in beaten egg and melted butter not yogurt and instead of ritz crackers I used corn flake crumbs. very good.
Just made this for my dad and I tonight & he’s in the kitchen right now eating and raving over left overs! Super tasty! Thanks for the simple recipe!!!
So glad you and your Dad enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
In the oven and looking forward to trying this!
Hey! I wanted to let you know that I used a little mayo instead of the yogurt and my husband loved it! Thanks. I’m gonna make it tonight and realized I never replied to let you know what I ended up doing. Anyway, super good 🙂
This looks super Good and I would like to make it tonight for my hubby and I. I don’t have Greek yogurt on hand… can I use milk or egg and if so should I add any honey anywhere to the mix (the recipe calls foe Greek honey yogurt) Thanks so much!!!
Sorry, Katie, this is the only way I have ever made this dish.
I use this recipe on fish also. Really yummy!
Do you bake this covered or uncovered?
You bake it uncovered, Demitra.
Can’t wait to make this!
I fixed ritzy parm chicken for 25 people and everyone raved! I did add some hot sauce to the yogurt. I didn’t want to add salt because of the sodium in the crackers and parm cheese. VERY easy to feed a big crowd. Baking chicken instead of standing over a hot BBQ worked for me.
So happy everyone enjoyed this recipe and thanks for letting me know. Have a great evening.
Judy, I made this yesterday and used chicken strips. No yogurt on hand and used buttermilk. So good and easy for a “solo lady”
enough for today with my spinach and mashed potatoes, thank you
Hi Ernestine! Hope things are good in the woods. So happy you enjoyed this recipe. It’s great to hear from you, too. Love and hugs.
Judy, this sounds so good
something I could make for one…
Ritzy parmesan baked chicken sounds like something my teenage boys would gobble up in a heartbeat.
Buttery, flaky, toasty goodness!
