Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.75 cups breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and ranch seasoning mix until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
Use a pastry brush or spoon to evenly coat each chicken breast with the mayonnaise-ranch mixture.
Press each coated chicken breast into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Lightly drizzle olive oil over the chicken or spray with cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
