Print Recipe

Baked Ranch Chicken is a flavorful and crispy dish made with chicken breasts coated in a delicious ranch dressing mix and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then dip each into the melted butter, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure it sticks, and place them in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle any leftover breadcrumb mixture on top of the chicken for extra crunch.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown.
  7. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and serving with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, consider adding cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • This dish pairs well with vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
