Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (dry packet)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing mix, plain Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to ensure it stays moist during cooking.
Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure to coat them completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
