Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, ranch seasoning mix, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl until smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Generously spoon the ranch mixture over each breast, making sure they’re well-coated.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top if you desire an extra crunch.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden brown.
- Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lighter option, swap the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
