– Well, in a word….yuck! No flavor, even with ranch dressing in crust. Also, cooks up soggy even with panko crumbs. Could be good possibly with chicken cut up like popcorn chicken and fried. I fixed as stated with no changes. Won’t do it twice this way. Just fry your chicken your way and add some ranch mix to the flour ….you’ll be better off.
– I am rating this 5 plus stars!! If I can rate 10 I would! Awesome and easy to make. I made this as my chicken base for parmesan chicken tonight. Just added Italian seasoning to crumb mixture. Yum and no leftovers!! Thank you!!
– Ok. We have made this three times now, and have shared it with so many friends. It is amazing. Amazing. And so simple to make. Kudos to whoever invented this recipe from the beginning. I give it an A ++++
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breats
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- ¾ Cups Panko bread crumbs
- ¾ Cups Parmesan cheese
- ½ Cups Melted smart balance spread
- Or your choice of butter product
- 1 Greased baking dish( or 2)
- 2 medium bowls
Directions
Supplies. In a medium bowl, mix ranch packet, bread crumbs & Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Preheat oven to 350.
Clean & rinse chicken. Cut each piece in half, the long way.
Use a paper towel to pat chicken dry.
Melt smart balance spread ( or butter) in medium microwave bowl.
Dip each piece of chicken into melted butter. Cover both sides.
Then press each side of the chicken into the breading mix.
Place in greased baking pan. Do this for each piece. I lined my baking dish with foil, which I sprayed with Pam to keep the chicken from sticking. And for easy clean up!
I had lots of mix left over so I sprinkled the rest all over the top of the chicken. I also melted a little more smart balance & drizzled it over each piece.
Now kick your feet up ( or clean up the mess you made) & let the chicken cook for 45 minutes. WARNING: the kitchen is starting to smell real good!!!
The finished dish! I was so excited to taste this best chicken ever that you can see where I cut a piece in the bottom left hand corner!!
