- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional garnish: chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush the chicken breasts on all sides with melted butter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
