Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1 oz packet ranch seasoning packet
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over the chicken. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
In a shallow bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, grated parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir the mixture until well combined.
Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off before dredging the chicken in the parmesan mixture, pressing down to ensure it adheres well.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the parmesan ranch chicken hot with a side of your choice.
