Oven Baked Ranch Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven Baked Ranch Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

   If you like your chicken breasts a bit thinner, take a moment to place them between two sheets of heavy plastic on a sturdy surface.

3. Step 3

   Grab a meat mallet and gently pound the chicken until it reaches a lovely thickness of about 3/4 inch—this not only helps with cooking but also makes for a tender bite.

   Next, arrange the chicken in a large baking dish, giving it plenty of room to shine.

5. Step 5

   Brush both sides generously with melted butter, allowing that rich flavor to soak in, and then sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the top.

6. Step 6

   Don’t forget to drizzle any leftover butter on the chicken for an extra touch of goodness.

   Now, it’s time to bake! Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it work its magic for 18 to 20 minutes.

8. Step 8

   You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
