- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
- Roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the greased baking dish.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For an extra crunchy finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, soak the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before coating.
- Substitute ranch seasoning with a blend of Italian herbs for a unique twist.
