Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1 oz packet ranch seasoning packet
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over the chicken. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, grated parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir the mixture until well combined.
Step 4
Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off before dredging the chicken in the parmesan mixture, pressing down to ensure it adheres well.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the parmesan ranch chicken hot with a side of your choice.
