A delicious and easy-to-make crispy ranch chicken recipe, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a baking sheet.
Using parchment paper on the baking sheet can make cleanup easier.
Melt the butter in a small bowl.
Microwave the butter in short intervals to prevent overheating.
In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and ranch dressing mix.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated.
Let any excess butter drip off before moving to the next step.
Coat the buttered chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Use one hand for wet ingredients and the other for dry to keep the process clean.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Leave space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Serve the crispy ranch chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
