Bacon Ranch Chicken
Description
The chicken breasts are dipped in melted butter before being coated in a mixture of finely crushed corn flakes combined with ranch seasoning, which provides a crispy, herb-spiced exterior. Seasoned with salt and pepper, the coated chicken is baked at 400°F until cooked through and crispy.
Once nearly finished, shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled cooked bacon are sprinkled on top and baked briefly to melt the cheese, adding rich flavor and a slightly gooey texture with the salty bite of bacon.
The dish is finished with chopped parsley for freshness and color, making it a satisfying main that pairs well with simple sides like steamed vegetables or salads.
