Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 oz. packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane grater
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to make 4 fillets

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.

2. Whisk together ranch seasoning mix, dill weed, onion powder, black pepper, salt, grated garlic, and mayonnaise in a bowl, then set aside.

3. Mix Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter in a separate bowl.

4. Coat each chicken fillet with the mayonnaise mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.

5. Place the breaded chicken fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F using an instant-read thermometer.

7. Let rest briefly before serving.


Notes

Storing: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Freezing: Freeze the chicken in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in the oven for best texture.

For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 1-2 minutes of baking.
