WHY MAKE THIS RECIPE

Only 5 Ingredients – There are only a handful of ingredients which includes things you already have in your pantry. Flavorful – Not only is this ranch flavor chicken simple, it is incredibly tasty. Crispy and Juicy –  Baking lets the coating get super crispy while the chicken stays nice and juicy!

INGREDIENT NOTES

Chicken – We’ve selected boneless skinless chicken breasts, but boneless chicken thighs, tenders, and drumsticks would all be tasty options.   Olive oil – or melted butter or whatever light oil you happen to have on hand.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Purchase plain cornflakes. Do not use frosted flakes or this recipe will be too sweet.   Crush the cornflakes very well. You don’t want a powder, but you do want to avoid large pieces of cornflakes.

VARIATIONS

Use Other Seasonings – Swap out the ranch seasoning for your favorite seasoning blend such as taco, fajita, jerk seasoning, garlic, or whatever combination you create! Add extra flavor – dredge chicken in mayonnaise or greek yogurt or sour cream before covering in cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY TIPS

Make Ranch Seasoning –  It’s not difficult to make homemade ranch seasoning with a few spices and seasonings. Use Leftovers – Leftover chicken can be served over a salad or in a wrap for a flavorful lunch.
