Make this simple, flavorful baked ranch chicken with minimal effort. This recipe delivers tender, juicy chicken perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 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 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning mix and mayonnaise until fully combined. This is your coating.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the ranch coating.
  7. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the top of the cheese layer.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes as needed.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, place the dish under the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Serve this chicken with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
