Ranch Chicken




This recipe is so yummy, easy, and delicious! The main ingredients are as follows:
* 3/4 c. fine corn flake crumbs
* 3/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
* 1 pkg. ranch dressing mix
* 2 sticks butter, melted
* 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.


1. In a medium size bowl, mix together the first three ingredients.





2. With the melted butter in a large cereal bowl, dip one chicken breast in the butter, completely immersing it.





3. Next, drag the chicken in the dry mixture making sure it is completely coated.


4. Lay the chicken in a 13" x 9" baking dish.





5. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. For any chicken that will not fit in the dish, just place in a second baking dish. I usually put 4-5 pieces in the large dish and put the rest in a smaller dish.


6. Sprinkle the remaining dry mixture around the chicken and pour the butter over the sprinkles. This will create a wonderful sauce to pour on rice or noodles, or to pour on the cooked chicken itself. We call this sauce "ranchlin's."


7. With oven rack in the middle of the oven, bake the large pan of chicken for 20-25 minutes. After it's done you can bake the remaining 1-2 pieces. We are very big on leftovers so the first batch easily feeds this family of four. The second batch is for either hubby's lunch (he's a leftover-aholic) or leftover night.


8. Serve with rice or noodles and a veg -- love steamed broccoli with this! Enjoy!
