Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish.
Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk, ensuring it's fully coated.
Next, dredge the buttermilk-coated chicken breasts into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure an even coat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Sear each side for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
