- kosher salt and black pepper
- 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions
- Heat oven to 350° F. In a bowl, combine the crackers, cheese, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

FRESH PICK
Corn
Sweet, fresh-picked corn—yellow, white, or butter-and-sugar (a combination of both)—is one of the joys of summer. A little
butter, a shake of salt, and life is good.
