Ingredients

Instructions

  • Spread the panko breadcrumbs out on a baking tray (spread out evenly) and broil in the oven for 3 minutes until they’re golden brown. Then, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  • If you’re using full-sized chicken breasts, cut them in half width-wise so that you have two thin pieces. Note: we use chicken breasts that come thinly sliced from the store.*
  • Pour the ranch dressing into a shallow bowl. Pour the panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning, and parmesan cheese into a separate shallow bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Pat both sides of the chicken dry with a paper towel. Then, dip one chicken piece into the ranch dressing and coat completely. Let any excess ranch drip off. Then, dip it into the breadcrumb mixture and use the back of a fork to pat the breadcrumbs into the chicken. Place onto a baking tray.
    A hand holds a fork, dipping a raw chicken breast into a creamy, herb-infused sauce on a white plate with a brown rim. The anticipation of creating panko-crusted chicken fills the air against the backdrop of the textured gray surface.
  • Repeat this process for all chicken pieces. Then, bake for 20 minutes. We like to broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes to get it extra crispy. Remove and enjoy!

Notes

*Nutritional Information is an estimate, for informational purposes only*
*We use thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts that we get frozen from Costco. Be sure to let them thaw completely before making this recipe. We prefer to use thinly sliced cuts of chicken because they cook evenly and have a better ratio of breading to meat. Thinly cut chicken breasts are also referred to as a chicken cutlets.
