With 5 ingredients and 30 minutes, you can make an easy weeknight chicken dish. The chicken is tender and juicy on the inside and has a crunchy, flavorful Parmesan cheese coating on the outside.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz. each)
1/2 c. panko bread crumbs
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 T. dry Ranch seasoning (dressing) from packet
1/4 c. unsalted butter, melted
chopped fresh parsley, for serving, optional
lemon slices, for serving, optional
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to pound the chicken to a thinner, even thickness.
Melt butter in a shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and dry Ranch seasoning. Dip chicken in the melted butter; roll in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake 25 - 30 minutes, or until cooked through the center.
Serve with parsley and lemon slices, if desired.
4 servings.
