Ingredients

  • 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 large breasts sliced in half horizontally)
  • ½ cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet dry Ranch dressing mix (2 tablespoons)
  • 1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine ranch dressing mix, crushed cornflakes, and parmesan cheese in a shall down or bowl.
  • Dip chicken breasts in the melted butter, shaking off excess, then dredge in the cornflake mixture. Transfer to a large baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F when tested with a digital meat thermometer.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, warm for 10 minutes or so in a 350°F oven or in the air fryer for 4-5 minutes to help crisp up the outside. You can also warm in the microwave, but the coating won't be as crunchy.
  • Great on pork chops or fish too! You can use the same coating on bone-in or boneless pork chops or a firm white fish and it is also delicious. You will just need to adjust the cooking time slightly for the different proteins.
  • Press extra crumbs on top. If we have any leftover cornflake mixture, we will sprinkle some on top of the chicken before putting it in the oven to make sure there is a nice, thick layer of the crunchy coating.
  • Use a digital thermometer. You can get fairly inexpensive ones that work great and it guarantees perfectly moist, tender chicken every time without the guesswork.
