Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts on all sides with melted butter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 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.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
