Butter crackers are aptly named: they deserve their reputation for richness and for that cracker-crunch that melds so well with cheese spreads. Butter crackers also meld well with chicken; crushed and baked on top, they add their buttery flavor to the succulent chicken breast, resulting in a flavor and texture combo that can't be beat. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using salmon, pat dry and season flesh side with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Follow same instructions as chicken in Step 3, searing flesh side only, 2-4 minutes. Follow same instructions for topping and roast until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-10 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel, trim, and cut carrot into 1/4" rounds.

    Stem and coarsely chop parsley. Reserve a few leaves whole for garnish, if desired.

    Gently crush crackers.

    Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Carrots

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add carrot, honey, white wine, 1/2 cup water, half the butter (reserve remaining for sauce), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pot. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until liquid is almost completely evaporated, 8-10 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir, then set aside to cool, 5 minutes. Once cooled, stir in chopped parsley (reserve whole leaves for garnish) and pecans.

    While carrots cook, cook chicken.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and sear until browned, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

    Spread mayonnaise evenly on chicken, then top with crushed crackers, pressing gently to adhere.

    Roast in hot oven until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 7-9 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Return pan used to cook chicken to medium heat and add 2 Tbsp. water and demi-glace. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, remove from burner. Swirl in remaining butter.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, placing chicken on sauce. Garnish carrot with whole parsley leaves, if desired. Bon appétit!
