Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 large Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Chicken thighs can be used for extra juiciness.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter twist.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can work but won’t be as crunchy.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated) Nutritional yeast is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) Feel free to swap with olive oil for a healthier option.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix Homemade ranch seasoning is perfect for peak freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon Dill Weed You can use fresh dill if you prefer a brighter flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Fresh onions can also be used; reduce the amount.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Adjust according to your heat preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Choose between coarse or fine salt.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Cloves (grated) Minced garlic can substitute if grated isn’t available.
