Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (205Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Set aside.
In another shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to help the coating stick better.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.
Next, dredge the egg-coated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it lightly to ensure an even and thick coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Lightly drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help the crust turn golden and crispy.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the juicy, ranch-flavored crusted chicken!
