Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (dry packet)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing mix, plain Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to ensure it stays moist during cooking.
Step 4
Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure to coat them completely.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Step 6
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
