Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix with the melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
- In another shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the butter mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
- Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with fresh parsley (optional), and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispy chicken, lightly spray the breaded chicken with cooking spray before baking.
- You can swap the Parmesan cheese with mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a different flavor profile.
- This recipe is also great with chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- To make it spicier, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the ranch seasoning.
