Super easy and delicious!

My family and I love this recipe! I’ve made it twice and will be making it often. I’ve used tenders and sliced breasts and both times were so moist. I didn’t have enough ranch the 2nd time, so I added mayo and seasonings. I put the chicken in a big bowl with all the ingredients and mixed everything together. Don’t forget to use parchment paper or foil. This is one of the easiest recipes and will definitely make the normal rotation! PS- I didn’t tell my picky husband and daughter, who don’t like ranch or mayo, the ingredients and they loved it.

The flavor was very good and the chicken stayed very moist. However, the cheeses and ranch mixture slid off the chicken breast and burned a little on my cooking sheet. If I were to pound the breast flat perhaps that would help but I’m not sure.

The thought of this was great but the taste and appearance was a let down. I would rather do this with ranch dressing seasoning instead of liquid ranch
Steven Hernandez
Great!! Checked all my boxes-easy, quick, low-mess and soooo delicious!! Smelled good, too, so house had this wonderful scent the whole evening! Used aluminum foil and clean pan! This is a great dish for company. We will put this in the rotation for sure!

so yummy! even my picky 5 year old who doesn’t eat ranch loved it! i always add extra cheese and use chicken tenders instead of breast. use parchment paper and make sure to get some of the extra crunchy cheese. yum!!

This recipe was not Good, The measurements were off, and the breadcrumbs didn’t stick to the chicken well…The only thing I liked about this recipe, is the flavor of the chicken. Will not be making again.

Family loved it!

We LOVED this easy to make delicious recipe! It was quick, simple, and tasted unbelievable! My family is sooooo picky, and they’d never willingly eat ranch dressing. But because they couldn’t see it, it wasn’t an issue. They just kept saying how delicious it was, and how much flavor it had! I cut my chicken pieces smaller, more like tenders, which obviously meant I was going to need more breading, so I tripled the amount. Definitely bake it on parchment so you can get all of that cheesy goodness off the pan! The chicken was nice and juicy, and the cheese and panko got nice and crunchy. The ranch underneath almost tasted like there was a sauce on it. Will DEFINITELY be a goto meal, especially when I’m in a rush!

Did not have ranch so I substituted Creamy Caesar. Breasts were large and thick so an additional 10 minutes were needed. Flavor was super.
Dawn Baker
Yes, made this and turned out delicious. Use foil or parchment on bottom of pan for easier cleanup as the cheese melts and sticks to it. My friends enjoyed this recipe very much and was moist and had good flavor.
Alexis Allen
yes
Angel Thomas
Delicious chicken! I had too cook it for about 35-40 minutes, not 20-25, but other than that the recipe was simple to make and tasted excellent.
Richard Mcintosh
Very tasty & moist. I had to bake it 35-40 mins. When I checked chicken after 25 mins., it was raw inside. Also, I mixed all the ingredients (except butter) together to coat chicken. Yumm!
