Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather all ingredients and equipment.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix, dill weed, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, grated garlic, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the mayonnaise mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. Arrange the breaded chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (at least 165°F internal temperature).
