Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil or nonstick spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the ranch seasoning mix, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
Place the melted butter in a separate shallow dish.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then dip each piece into the melted butter, ensuring it's well-coated on all sides.
Step 5
After coating with butter, immediately dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
Step 6
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
