Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the sheet with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a cutting board and lightly pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook evenly.
In a shallow dish, pour the ranch dressing. In a separate shallow dish, combine the crushed potato chips, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix the dry ingredients well.
Dip each chicken breast into the ranch dressing, ensuring it is well coated. Let any excess dressing drip off.
Press the ranch-coated chicken into the chip mixture, covering all sides evenly while gently pressing the chips onto the chicken for better adherence.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray or drizzle lightly with a small amount of vegetable oil. This will help the coating become extra crispy during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures maximum tenderness.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
