Oven ranch chicken

Oven Ranch Chicken is a delightful, easy-to-make dish that combines the flavorful tang of ranch with tender, juicy chicken breasts. This recipe is perfect for any weeknight dinner and can be paired with your favorite sides for a complete meal. Here's everything you need to know to create this delicious comfort food.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup bread crumbs
55g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g
16 oz chicken breasts
450g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready once your prep is done.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
3. Prep the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better and ensures even cooking.
4. Coat with Sour Cream:
Using a basting brush or a spoon, evenly spread the light sour cream over each chicken breast. Make sure to coat both sides thoroughly.
5. Bread the Chicken:
Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge each sour cream-coated chicken breast in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Coat both sides well.
6. Arrange in Baking Dish:
Place the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping to promote even cooking.
7. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The breading should be golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Oven Ranch Chicken with your favorite sides, such as a salad, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes.

Tips:

- For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the chicken by coating it in sour cream and bread crumbs twice.

- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before coating them.

- Feel free to season the bread crumbs with additional spices like paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder for a more complex flavor.

- Use a cooking rack placed on a baking sheet to allow air to circulate around the chicken, ensuring even crispiness on all sides.

- Rest the chicken for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring the meat stays juicy.

Oven Ranch Chicken is not only quick and easy to prepare but also offers a burst of flavor that will leave your taste buds satisfied. Serve it with fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad for a complete and balanced meal. Enjoy this simple yet delicious recipe with your family and friends!
