Instructions
Preparation

- Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- In a bowl, mix together the dill pickle ranch dressing and ¾ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the dressing mixture, coating it thoroughly, and then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- In another bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the dressed chicken breasts.
Cooking
- Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the topping is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve with additional dill pickle ranch dressing and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Notes
To store any leftovers, allow the chicken to cool to room temperature before placing it in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the dill pickle ranch dressing for a few hours before baking.
