Oven-Baked Ranch-Seasoned Chicken Breasts
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. 2

    If you want thinner chicken breasts, set the chicken between two sheets of heavy plastic on a sturdy, flat surface. Pound firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet until it is 3/4-inch thick.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken in a large baking dish. Brush both sides with melted butter, then season all over with ranch seasoning mix. Drizzle any remaining butter over the top.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 18 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
