| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 4 |
| Grated parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
| Ranch dressing mix | 1 packet |
| Panko breadcrumbs | 1 cup |
| Melted butter | 1/2 cup |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Coating Mixture
In a shallow bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, ranch dressing mix, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Step 3: Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the taste.
Step 4: Coat the Chicken
- Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Press the butter-coated chicken into the parmesan mixture, ensuring an even crust on all sides.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making every bite juicy and flavorful.
