Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
3. Prepare the Coating:
In a small bowl, mix together the Ranch dressing, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well until everything is combined.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added flavor and crunch.
4. Coat the Chicken:
Spread a generous amount of the Ranch-Parmesan mixture over the top of each chicken breast, ensuring they are well-coated.
Sprinkle the panko breadcrumb mixture over the ranch mixture, pressing it down gently to stick.
5. Bake:
Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C), and the coating is golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad
