Who doesn’t have a piece of chicken in the refrigerator or freezer? Not many cooks go without keeping a few pieces in the freezer to help out with family meals.

But, finding a different way to cook the chicken can sometimes become an almost impossible task.

Whether you use this recipe today or one day next week, it gives cooks a quick change to the same old baked chicken dish.

Buttery crackers, a little Parmesan cheese and dry ranch dressing mix perks up a meal that will have the whole family praising the cook.
