Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Set aside.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to help the coating stick better.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.
Step 6
Next, dredge the egg-coated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it lightly to ensure an even and thick coating.
Step 7
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
Step 8
Lightly drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help the crust turn golden and crispy.
Step 9
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the juicy, ranch-flavored crusted chicken!
