For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the melted butter and ranch seasoning for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before baking. Don't overcrowd the baking dish! If your chicken breasts are large, you may need to use two baking dishes to ensure even cooking. Serve this Baked Ranch Chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the chicken: If desired, for thinner, more even cooking, place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound to an even 3/4-inch thickness. This step is optional but helps ensure even cooking. (5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Season the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish (9x13 inch is ideal). Brush both sides of each chicken breast with the melted butter, ensuring they are well coated. Evenly sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over both sides of the chicken, pressing lightly to adhere. Drizzle any remaining butter over the top. (5 minutes)
04
Step
20 mins
Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should register 165°F (74°C). (20 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
