How to Make Crispy Parmesan Ranch Chicken

Parmesan offers a fresh taste to chicken recipes.

Parmesan cheese and ranch dressing combine to make a surprisingly tasty chicken recipe. Crispy Parmesan ranch chicken goes well with a side of rice and steamed veggies.

Things You'll Need

• 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
• 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

1. Mix the crushed crackers, the Parmesan cheese and the ranch dressing mix in a bowl. Put the cracker mix into a shallow dish or on a plate.

2. Dip each piece of chicken into the melted butter, then coat with the cracker mix. Place the chicken onto a 9-by-13-inch pan that you've lightly sprayed with nonstick spray. If there is any cracker mix left, sprinkle it on top of the chicken and press it down a bit.

3. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. While the chicken is baking you can make a side dish to complete the meal.

Tips & Warnings

• For a lower-calorie version, use milk to wet the chicken instead of melted butter.
