Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ranch seasoning mix, dill weed, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, freshly grated garlic, and mayonnaise until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix together Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted unsalted butter until fully coated.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring even coverage before transferring to the breadcrumb mixture for coating.
  5. Dredge each coated chicken fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, then set on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake the chicken for 12-15 minutes until golden-brown, using an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  7. Let the Baked Ranch Chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
