Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a Creamy Lemon-Chive Sauce.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

8 Ritz Crackers, crushed into crumbs

½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup White Wine

1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

⅔ cup Chive & Onion cream cheese spread

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a heavy rolling pin or meat mallet. Lightly coat the chicken with olive oil.

Combine Ritz crackers, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper on a shallow-rimmed plate. Dip the chicken in the crumb mixture, coating each side well.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add the chicken breast halves and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove from skillet to a plate and cover loosely with foil.

Add wine and lemon juice to the hot skillet and let it reduce to half the amount of liquid, making sure to scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Add the chive and onion cream cheese spread and stir until bubbly and thickened.

Serve each chicken breast half with a tablespoon of sauce on top.
