This is also good if you use crushed Ritz crackers. I like to use a homemade dry ranch dressing mix instead of pre-packaged so that I can control the salt. I like to serve this with alfredo pasta. Read More

I used cheddar and panko vs parmesan and cereal- it came out incredibly salty. Not very ranch-like. Read More

GENIUS! This was delish and super easy to make! Only change I made to the recipe was using actual parmesan cheese rather than the grated stuff. The grated cheese comes packed with sodium which leaves the final product too salty for me. I changed it up and used real parmesan cheese and about 2 cups of corn flakes (prior to crushing). This made for a more crispy chicken which is what I prefer. Thanks for the recipe!! Read More

This is a delicious dish! I didn't have corn flakes so I used crushed ritz crackers. That was the only change I made. I love this! Oh and I used freshly grated parmesan cheese. Read More

My whole family loved this (even my picky tween daughter):) I used the Hidden Vally Ranch "spicy ranch" packet mix. This added just a little bit of a kick to it. Amazing! Will make again:) Read More

My family wasn't yay about me doing the recipe but when I cooked it. They LOVED it. When I did it for a second time I cut back on the ranch dressing mix because the flavor of the ranch mix was little on the strong side for me. So I put half of the mix. Still came out GOOD. For my family to like it I was shocked because everyone likes different things and a few are REALLY REALLY picky. Read More

Good starting recipe! I used mayo instead of butter amd mixed in the ranch seasoning garlic powder crushed red peppers and parmesan cheese. I didn't have any cornflakes on hand so I used panko instead. Cooked for 40 minutes the chicken was nice and juicy! Served with parmesan rice and green salad. Read More

Have made this for my parents a couple times and they have loved it. Couldn't be simpler (lifelong bachelor who is just learning how to cook --if I can do this well and you are a conscious human being...you have no worries here). I did put a mix of the ranch mix and Parmesan alone aside to coat the bottom of the breast with and then the mix with the cereal to coat the tops --worked out better not having the cereal turn gunky on the bottom. Also seemed to help to grate the Parmesan pretty finely (just mixed better). And used generic all bran flakes --tasted great! I also have felt like I should go by the thermometer reading rather than the 45 minutes to avoid a little overcooking. Thanks for this recipe! Read More
