Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 cup panko style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons (or 1 packet) dry Ranch Dressing and Seasoning Mix (like Hidden Valley)
  • 6 boneless, skinless or bone-in chicken breasts with skin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning, or to taste, optional
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray; set aside.
  • In a shallow pan, mix together the panko crumbs, cracker crumbs and ranch seasoning mix.
  • Lightly season the chicken with Cajun seasoning, brush with mayonnaise and dredge in the panko mixture. Place on the prepared pan and drizzle with the melted butter.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for about 40 to 45 minutes for large boneless, skinless breasts, or about 50 minutes for bone-in, or until juices run clear and chicken reads 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, when measured in the thickest part of the breast.
  • Pass quickly under the broiler to brown further, if desired.
