Make this easy baked ranch chicken for a flavorful, simple weeknight dinner. This recipe delivers tender, juicy chicken with a savory ranch coating using minimal ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for crispiness)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and the dry ranch seasoning mix until fully blended. This creates your creamy ranch coating.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This step helps the coating adhere and promotes a better crust.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the top surface of each chicken breast.
  6. If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the ranch coating for extra crispiness.
  7. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the coated chicken.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Baking time depends on the thickness of your chicken.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra juicy baked chicken, ensure your chicken breasts are uniform in thickness before coating.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled chicken in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Serve this flavorful oven chicken with roasted potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete family favorite baked chicken meal.
