Recipe #018 · Cheesy Bacon Ranch
Cheesy Bacon Ranch Cheddar Crusted Chicken
SERVES 4 · 10 MINUTES PREP / 20 MINUTES COOK
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1–2 tbsp BANGIN' Cheesy Bacon Ranch Spice Seasoning (divided)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry. Rub with olive oil and season both sides with 1 tbsp of BANGIN' Cheesy Bacon Ranch Spice Seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 tbsp Cheesy Bacon Ranch Spice Seasoning.
- Prese each chicken breast into the cheese mixture, coating both sides and pressing gently so it sticks.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crispy.
- Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve!
Tip: TIP: For extra flavor, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking. It locks in the juices! MAKE IT YOURS! • Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky kick. • Air fry at 375°F for 12–14 minutes for a quicker option! • Slice and serve over a salad or in a wrap for a Bangin' lunch. TRY IT WITH: SIDE SALAD, ROASTED VEGGIES, BAKED POTATO
