Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to make 4 fillets
Seasoning Blend:
- 1 ounce (28 grams) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane grater
Coating and Binding Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare a pristine baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for the chicken.
- Craft the flavor-packed ranch coating by whisking together ranch seasoning mix, dill weed, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, garlic, and mayonnaise into a creamy, herb-infused blend.
- In a separate dish, combine Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and melted butter to create a crunchy, golden exterior coating.
- Meticulously enrobe each chicken fillet with the zesty mayonnaise mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Generously roll the coated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing to secure a robust, crispy layer that will transform into a tantalizingly crunchy crust.
- Preheat the oven to a scorching 425°F (220°C), preparing the perfect environment for culinary transformation.
- Carefully arrange the breaded chicken fillets on the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between each piece for optimal heat circulation.
- Slide the baking sheet into the heated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, monitoring until the chicken achieves a golden-brown exterior and reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest briefly, allowing the juices to redistribute and ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
Notes
- Craving a mouthwatering chicken dish that’s quick to prepare and bursting with flavor? This ranch-infused creation transforms ordinary chicken into a crispy, zesty meal.
