Ingrediënten

2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 oz ranch seasoning mix (1 packet)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructies

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until evenly distributed.

Season your chicken strips with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Dip each chicken strip into the melted butter, ensuring it’s well coated on all sides.

Press the buttered chicken strips into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure they are fully coated. Gently shake off any excess crumbs.

Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or brush any remaining melted butter over the top of the chicken for extra crispiness.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the crust is golden and crispy. For extra crunch, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely so they don’t burn.

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
