Description

A family favorite that features boneless chicken breasts coated in ranch dressing and breadcrumbs for a crunchy finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix ranch dressing with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  3. Dip each chicken breast in the ranch mixture.
  4. Coat each breast with breadcrumbs.
  5. Place coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the chicken.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Notes

For a healthier option, use low-fat ranch dressing and whole wheat breadcrumbs. Resting the chicken after baking ensures juiciness.
