Hidden Valley Ranch Chicken

I’m sharing another chicken recipe today! I hope you’re not sick of them yet, because they’re our favorite! I love Baked Chicken recipes the best because they are healthier than frying and usually take just minutes to put together. This recipe is just that – simple, quick and so delicious. This Crispy Baked Ranch Chicken is a recipe I adapted from Love, Pomegranate House. I just modified it a bit, and loved the result. Even the hubby has asked that we have this again. 😉

The breading on the chicken is really light and it’s only made up of a small handful of ingredients. There aren’t any crazy concoctions of seasonings – just panko, parmesan cheese, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and Hidden Valley ranch seasoning. If you didn’t have garlic salt and lemon pepper, you could probably get away with regular salt and pepper, because the ranch is what really carries the flavor! It’s the perfect savory breading to bring out the flavor in the chicken. Even though the chicken was great to eat by itself, I’m thinking I need to chop it up and have it in a salad next time (I’m a sucker for salads with chicken). 😉

How to make Ranch Chicken:

This baked chicken recipe really only requires about 5 minutes of prep work before popping it in the oven!

1. Put the Panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and Hidden Valley Mix in a bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
2. Melt 2 TB butter and dip chicken breasts in butter and then dip in mixture of crumbs
3. Placed in a greased pan. Top with 2 TB melted butter.
4. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. I baked for 40 minutes and then broiled on HIGH for the last 5-7 minutes to brown the panko a bit.

We served this Crispy Baked Ranch Chicken with our favorite sides, and the whole family absolutely loved it. You better believe we’ll be making this chicken again – and soon!
