Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a shallow bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, ranch dressing mix, and panko breadcrumbs.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it’s well-coated.
Press the butter-coated chicken into the parmesan mixture, covering it evenly.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. If you’re looking for a lower-carb option, try using almond flour instead of panko breadcrumbs. You can also experiment with different cheeses, like a mix of parmesan and cheddar, for a unique twist.
