Make a simple, juicy, and flavorful baked ranch chicken using only five pantry staples. This recipe is perfect for quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and dry ranch seasoning mix until fully combined. This creates the coating.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick and promotes better texture.
  4. Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the top surface of each chicken breast.
  5. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the ranch coating on each piece of chicken.
  6. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the coated chicken pieces.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust cooking time as needed.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, place the baking dish under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe works well for meal prepping; store cooled chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
