Ingredients

• ¼ cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• ½ cup buttermilk ranch dressing, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (such as Mrs. Dash® garlic and herb)
• ½ cup spicy ranch dressing, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Combine Italian bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl.

Step 3

Combine spicy ranch dressing and buttermilk ranch dressing in a separate bowl. Dip chicken into dressing until both sides are coated, then coat in bread crumb mixture. Place chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces. Lightly drizzle chicken with melted butter.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
