Crispy baked chicken, coated in mayo and crunchy panko breadcrumbs, seasoned with a homemade ranch dressing mix – yes please! I’m all about finding ways to make my favorite guilty pleasure recipes a little less guilty. Baking is always a great alternative to get crispy chicken, who needs all that extra oil? Not us!
Chicken – I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can also use chicken thighs. Seasoning – You’ll need ranch dressing mix for this! You can use my recipe, or buy a packet from the grocery store. Breadcrumbs – I used seasoned breadcrumbs but you can also use regular run-of-the-mill breadcrumb or Panko breadcrumbs. Parmesan Cheese – I like a nice freshly grated parm, it really makes a difference. Whatever you have on hand will work. Mayonnaise – This mayo, you could say is my secret ingredient, it’s what tenderizes the chicken and makes nice and juicy. Use your favorite or make your own using my homemade mayonnaise recipe!
How To Make Baked Ranch Chicken
Tips
Storing Leftovers
Store leftover ranch chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheating
To reheat so the chicken stays crispy, bake at 400°F for 5 minutes or until heated through. Keep a close eye on them to make sure it doesn’t burn.
Freezing/Make Ahead
You can freeze this ranch chicken either before or after baking. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer them to a large freezer bag or airtight container. This will prevent them from freezing into a block together. Freeze for up to 3 months!
