Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet 1 oz ranch dressing mix (dry)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko for extra crunch
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, coating it thoroughly, then dredge it into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
  4. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
  8. Serve the baked ranch chicken with a side of vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
  • For a lower-carb version, you can swap breadcrumbs for almond flour or crushed pork rinds.
  • If you like extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
  • This recipe also works well with a side of ranch dipping sauce for extra flavor.
  • You can make this dish ahead of time by preparing the chicken and coating it, then storing it in the fridge until you're ready to bake.
