Parmesan Ranch Chicken
Raise your hand if you’re a huge fan of simple 4 ingredient dinner recipes that take only 5 minutes to prepare and the whole family loves! I thought so 🙂 Then Parmesan Ranch Chicken is the perfect dinner for you!
If you work full time like me, it’s hard to find the time and energy to come home and make dinner.
This one will make your life a little easier.
I went with chicken drumsticks for this dish because my kids really love them, and let’s face it, sometimes we will do anything just to keep the fam happy at dinner, right?!
But you could certainly use chicken thighs, wings, or even split chicken breasts.
How to Make Parmesan Ranch Chicken
It starts with 6 chicken drumsticks in a casserole dish and coated in olive oil.
You could even line it with foil for easier cleanup.
Then mix together a packet of dry ranch seasoning, fresh parmesan cheese, and a bit of kosher salt and pepper.
Sprinkle this on all sides of the chicken.
I went with the packet of dry ranch seasoning because, well, my goal was easy and simple.
If you have a homemade blend of ranch seasoning you would like to use that will work too.
That little bit of prep is really all it takes!
The rest of the work is done by the oven.
See, I told you Parmesan Ranch Chicken really is a busy mom’s best friend 🙂
This bakes in a 400 degree oven for 45-50 minutes (or until the internal temp is 170 degrees).
I always check with an instant read thermometer just to be on the safe side.
My kids call me “Captain Safety” for many reasons, this being one of them.
Parmesan Ranch Chicken is one of my family’s favorites, and mine too!
Especially with how easy it is to make 🙂
We had one of those rare dinners where everyone was kind of quiet and all I heard were sounds of…
“Mmmmmm” and “Mom, you gotta make this again!”.
Kind of felt like I should have earned a gold star or mom bonus points with this one 🙂
