  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, pour the melted butter.
  4. Dip each chicken strip into the butter, ensuring it’s well coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken in buttermilk for 1 hour before breading.
  • Use spicy ranch seasoning for a kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
