Ranch-Parmesan Chicken

I made this for Fernando for Valentines day and it was really quick and delicious. I found it on food.com. I didn't make as much as it calls for and it still turned out great.


6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup dry breadcrumbs (even better, use panko breadcrumbs)
¼-1⁄3; cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
½-1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup prepared ranch salad dressing (use bottled salad dressing, you might need a bit more dressing)
¼ cup melted butter (no substitutes)

Directions:

1 Set oven to 400° degrees (set oven rack to lowest position).
2 Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
3 In a shallow bowl mix together the dry breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
4 Dip the chicken into the ranch dressing to coat both sides (allow any excess to drip off).
5 Coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
6 Place in a single layer onto a greased baking sheet or line with non-stick foil (do NOT bake in a smaller baking dish or the bottom of the chicken will be soggy).
7 Lightly drizzle the melted butter over each breast (for low-fat option omit the butter or use a diet alternative).
8 If desired you can sprinkle black pepper over the chicken pieces .
9 Bake uncovered for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked).
