Ranch-Style Thighs and Breasts

My family prefers oven-fried chicken to the deep-fried variety. Creamy ranch dressing makes this wonderfully crunchy chicken tender and juicy.

Ingredients

• ½ cup dry bread crumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• ½ cup ranch dressing

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, yellow cornmeal, and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish. Pour ranch dressing in a separate shallow bowl.

Step 3

Dip chicken thighs and chicken breasts in ranch dressing to coat; press into the bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Arrange chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
