Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil or nonstick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or nonstick spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the ranch seasoning mix, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Place the melted butter in a separate shallow dish.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then dip each piece into the melted butter, ensuring it's well-coated on all sides.
After coating with butter, immediately dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
