Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless and skinless chicken breasts Thighs can be substituted for added juiciness.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Greek yogurt is a great alternative.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix Homemade is fine if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Dill weed Dried dill works perfectly as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Fresh onion can replace it if cooking time is adjusted.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper Swap for white pepper for a milder flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Adjust to your dietary preferences.
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves (grated) Use garlic powder in a pinch.
For the Crust
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be used if necessary.

  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted) Olive oil can be used for a lighter option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix, dill weed, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, grated garlic, and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine the Panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
  4. Coat each piece of chicken in the mayonnaise mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the breaded chicken on it, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden and crispy.
