Crispy Buttered Ranch Chicken 🍗🧂✨
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips 🍗
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix 🌿
1 cup panko breadcrumbs 🍞
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
1/2 tsp garlic powder 🧄
1/2 tsp paprika 🌶️
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). No need for a hot mess—just line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a light grease.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine those crispy panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, flavorful ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix it up until it’s well blended!
3. In another bowl, pour in the melted butter. Now, dip each chicken strip into that glorious butter, making sure it’s well coated, then dredge it in your breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help it stick. We want those flavors to stay!
4. Place your beautifully coated chicken strips on the baking sheet, but remember, no overcrowding—they need a little space to get crispy!
5. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through for even crispiness, until they're golden brown and irresistibly crispy.
6. Let those crispy delights rest for a few minutes—patience is key! Now they’re ready to serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
Enjoy your deliciously crispy creation!
