Baked Ranch Chicken
Description
Baked Ranch Chicken involves dipping chicken breasts in melted butter, then coating them with a mixture of panko, Parmesan, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and ranch seasoning. Baking at 350°F allows the chicken to cook through while the topping crisps and browns. Broiling briefly at the end adds extra color and crunch to the panko crust.
The combination of garlic salt and lemon pepper adds savory and citrus notes that complement the ranch seasoning's herb blend. The Parmesan cheese melts to bind crumbs and provide a subtle richness. The result is a satisfying texture contrast between juicy chicken and crispy topping.
Leftover coated chicken can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave to preserve texture as much as possible. Preparing the coated chicken ahead and refrigerating before baking helps flavors meld and streamlines meal preparation.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes
- lemon pepper dash of
- 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning or 1 seasoning packet, Hidden Valley® Original brand
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and Hidden Valley Mix in a bowl and mix.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and dip chicken breasts in butter and then dip in a mixture of crumbs.
- Placed in a greased pan. Top with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. I baked it for 40 minutes and then broiled it on HIGH for the last 5-7 minutes to brown the panko a bit. ENJOY!
Notes
- The chicken can be coated a day before baking and kept covered in the refrigerator.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat in oven or microwave.
