Ingredients:

• 1 cup Sea Salt Crackers (equivalent to 1 pouch)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a food processor, pulse the crackers until they are a crumb consistency.
