Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Spread the ranch dressing in a shallow bowl. This will act as the binding agent for your breadcrumb coating.
Dip each chicken breast into the ranch dressing, ensuring it’s fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture. Use your hands to firmly press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to create a thick, even coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Lightly drizzle olive oil over the chicken or spray with cooking spray to enhance browning and crispiness.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps juices redistribute and ensures each bite is tender and juicy.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp garden salad.
