Delicious chicken

8 Tbs butter, divided
3-4 Cups potatoes, peeled (if preferred) and thinly sliced (like you would for scalloped potatoes)
1 Can corn (can use 16 oz of frozen corn if preferred)
1 – 1.5 Cups graham cracker crumbs
3-4 Large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks or strips
Seasonings (to taste): basil, salt, rosemary, or whatever you like.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375. Put 4 Tbs butter in a 9×13 pan, and place the pan in the oven as it’s preheating so the butter melts (don’t let it burn!). Remove the pan from the oven and swirl the butter so it coats the bottom of the pan.
Meanwhile, peel and slice the potatoes. Line bottom of pan with potatoes, top potatoes with corn. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and basil (at least 1 tsp of each).
Crush the graham crackers (I like to put mine in a ziplock and roll them with a rolling pin). Combine cracker crumbs with seasonings as desired. Again, I suggest 1 tsp of salt, basil, and a pinch of rosemary. Dice chicken or cut into strips. Dip chicken into 4 Tbs melted butter, then coat completely in crumb mixture. Place chicken on top of corn and potatoes. Sprinkle extra crumb mixture on top of the potatoes/corn.
