Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
1 packet (1 ounce) ranch dressing mix
-
½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
-
-
Coat the Chicken:
-
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
-
Evenly spread mayonnaise over both sides of each chicken breast. This helps keep the meat moist during baking.
-
-
Prepare the Breading Mixture:
-
In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the ranch dressing mix, seasoned breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.
-
-
Bread the Chicken:
-
Dredge each mayonnaise-coated chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
-
Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
-
-
Bake:
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
-
-
Serve:
-
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
-
Serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes.
