Ranch Chicken

Living in the South, I grew up on fried chicken. I love the crispy crunch of fried chicken, but I don't make it too often any more. We still eat a lot of chicken, but not so much of it is fried now. Today's recipe is a crispy crunchy baked chicken (that looks like fried) called Ranch Chicken.

This recipe for Ranch Chicken was adapted from Busy Woman's Quick and Easy Recipes.

Ranch Chicken
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes
1 (1 ounce) packet dry ranch-style salad dressing mix
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the parmesan cheese, crushed corn flakes, and dry ranch dressing mix in a bowl. Melt the butter in a separate bowl.

I used 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, then I cut those in half to make the pieces smaller for baking. Rinse and dry the chicken pieces.

Dip each piece of chicken in the melted butter . . .

. . . then dredge in the corn flake mixture . . .

. . . and place on a baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 50 minutes or until golden brown.

So easy AND so good!
