Oven Ranch Chicken

Print Recipe

3 lbs Boneless Chicken (I used thighs but will use tenders next time)

1 cup Ranch Dressing (or enough to coat)

1 cup Bread crumbs or Panko

½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1/2-2 Tbsp Creole Seasoning or similar seasoned salt (use less if using seasoned bread crumbs or more if plain of panko)

Toss chicken in a baggie with the ranch dressing.  Let marinate at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven.  Mix Bread crumbs, cheese and Creole seasoning in a dish.  Using tongs, coat each piece of chicken and place on a foil or parchment paper lined pan. Leave an inch or two between pieces so it can crisp.

Tenders- 400 for 15-20 min

Boneless skinless chicken Thighs- 425 for 25-35 min

Breasts- 375 for 30-35 min

Bone-in pieces- 375 from 45-60 min

Leftovers! Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches

Reheat the chicken and heat some marinara sauce.  On a cookie sheet, open some rolls and layer chicken with marinara and cheese.  Broil till bread is toasted and cheese is bubbly.

The boys loved it both ways:)
