Parmesan-Ranch Chicken

Chicken Legs final meal this week was an easy Parmesan-Ranch Chicken.  We marinated the chicken overnight in ranch dressing and then coated it in a panko breadcrumb mixture.  This chicken was very moist, extremely flavorful and easy to put together.  This falls into our category of quick and easy weeknight meals.  We both thought this was great and can't wait to eat it again.  I think this would be great to make as chicken fingers and serve over a salad.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Ranch dressing
1 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 425.  Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness.  Combine bread crumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper on plate.  Dip chicken in ranch (or marinate over night) and then coat in bread crumbs.  Place on baking sheet.  Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese (if desired) and spray with cooking spray.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.

This looks great but I'd have to fry mine, only because I'm bad like that:)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I tried this for my non-ranch-dressing-loving-family last night and they LOVED it! My husband would walk through the kitchen and (with a smile) say that he didn't want to see what is in my recipe. Well... after one bite, he and my (very picky) 15 year old son ate every bite, and my husband went for seconds :) Thanks for giving us such amazing, simple, yummy recipes!
