Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

Step 3

Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish.

Step 4

Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 5

Next, dredge the buttermilk-coated chicken breasts into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure an even coat.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Sear each side for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 8

Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
