Crunchy Cajun Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup mayonnaise-type salad dressing
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups crushed sesame crackers (saltines will do)
1 teaspoon paprika

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl combine salad dressing, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper and garlic powder; mix well. Brush both sides of chicken with salad dressing mixture.

In a small bowl mix cracker crumbs and paprika. Coat chicken with the cracker crumb mixture.

Arrange chicken in an 11 x 7-inch baking pan.

Bake chicken about 45 minutes or until juices run clear.

NOTE: If using bone-in chicken, place in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, and bake for about 1 hour.

Serves 4.
