Delicious Barbequed Chicken Breast with Ham & Cracker-Crumb Coating
Delicious Barbequed Chicken Breast with Ham & Cracker-Crumb Coating
This delicious barbeque dish combines the lean boneless, skinless chicken breast with a crusty coating of ground up minced ham and cracker crumbs. The barbeque sauce is the base for the cracker crumb coating. The lemon juice gives a little tartness and also may act to tenderize the chicken. If you have the time you might experiment with the barbeque sauce by using it as a marinade. To try this, coat the chicken with sauce and put it in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour or so before using it to make the cracker coating. If you do this and then use the leftover marinade, be sure you heat it to boiling to avoid bacteria from the raw chicken .
