Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure they roast nicely.
- Brush each breast with olive oil or melted butter—this helps keep the chicken moist.
- Generously sprinkle ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over both sides of each chicken breast.
- Place the seasoned chicken into the greased baking dish.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving to maintain its juices.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the ranch seasoning for a couple of hours. Chicken thighs can be used as a substitute for breast.
