Quick & Easy Ranch Chicken

Does anybody else have those days where you just don't feel like putting much effort into meals?  I have multiple days of the week like that.  The biggest factor is because I don't always plan my meals in advance.  I will vouch that dinner times go so much more smoothly when meals are planned ahead of time, but it can be hard to always do so.  That is why I have a few meals up my sleeve for when those days come around.  Days where I have nothing planned but we don't want to go out to eat.  As easy as this recipe is, it is one of my family's favorites.  I have times where my husband begs me to make this, and of course I'm okay with it because it is one of the easier meals I could make.

Quick & Easy Ranch Chicken

Chicken Breasts/Tenders

Ranch

Progresso Bread Crumbs - Italian Style 

(Optional) Parmesan Cheese

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Pour ranch into a shallow dish and bread crumbs into a separate shallow dish.

(Optional): Sometimes I like to mix shredded parmesan cheese in with the bread crumbs.

3. Spray baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

4. Trim fat off of chicken.

5. Dip chicken into ranch and cover with ranch on both sides.

6. Dip chicken into bread crumbs to cover on both sides.

7. Place chicken in baking dish and bake for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of chicken.

Then serve with a favorite side!  The ranch layer around the chicken keeps the chicken super moist and super delicious.  And owing to the spices that are already in the ranch and in the bread crumbs, no extra spices are needed.  Super simple yet super delectable.
