Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (3 1/2 lbs)
1 1/2 c panko bread crumbs
2 pkg dry ranch dressing mix
1 Tbsp hungarian smoked paprika
2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp granulated garlic (not garlic salt)
1 c parmesan cheese, grated
3/4-1 c hidden valley ranch salad dressing

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. These are the main ingredients used in this recipe. Spray a shallow jelly roll type pan with non stick cooking spray & set aside till needed.
2. Using a bowl or reclosable bag, Combine Parmesan cheese with the Panko bread crumbs along with the spices and Dry ranch dressing mix packages. Shake to blend together.
3. These are the 2 Boneless skinless chicken Breast that I cut into 3 pieces each. When you can make a meal for 6 for under five dollars you are doing good.
4. Add the Ranch dressing to a platter or plate. Set aside till needed.
5. Measure out about half of the Panko crumb mixture onto a plate, pan or platter. Repeat as needed. The reasoning behind this is, if you have some of the mixture left over, you can store it in the freezer for next time, and it has not been contaminated with the wet chicken pieces.
6. Coat each piece of chicken breast with the ranch dressing by brushing it on or dredging it in the dressing on all sides. Allow excess to drip off.
7. Now place the coated chicken Breast into the seasoned bread crumbs, and coat all sides. Then place into shallow baking pan. Repeat until all the pieces of chicken have been coated with the bread crumb mixture.
8. Place pan in preheated 400 degree F. oven and bake for 45 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is golden brown and crispy. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy.
