Ingredients You’ll Need

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.
