Easy Bake Chicken

Ranch Breadcrumb Baked Chicken
2 Chicken Breasts (boneless / skinless)
1/2 cup Ranch Dressing
1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesean cheese (grated)
2 tsp. Italian / Tuscan herbs (Oregano, Basil, etc.)
1 tsp. Ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. Salt (if desired)

Preheat Oven 350F
Line a baking sheet with foil (shallow with sides, typically 10x13x1 inch). Spray foil with cooking spray to help prevent sticking.

Pour Ranch dressing into a small shallow bowl. Mix breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, and spices in another bowl. Dip chicken breasts, one at a time, in Ranch dressing (turning to coat). Transfer to bowl with breadcrumb mixture, toss to coat evenly. Gently shake off excess, place on prepared baking sheet. Bake on center rack of oven for 25-35 minutes.

Serve with salad, steamed broccoli, and whole wheat rolls.

FOOD SAFETY TIP:**discard remaining dressing and bread crumbs; they are contaminated with raw chicken and pose a health risk if re-used.
