  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise (or sour cream), ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the ranch mixture evenly over each chicken breast, coating completely.
  4. Place chicken in prepared baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Top with shredded cheddar or mozzarella for a cheesy crust.
  • Mix breadcrumbs into ranch coating for extra crunch.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Can substitute chicken thighs for an even juicier result.
  • Prepare and coat chicken up to 24 hours ahead for convenience.
