Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather necessary tools: mixing bowl, parchment-lined baking sheet, and small bowls for mixtures.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ranch seasoning mix, dill weed, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, grated garlic, and mayonnaise. Mix until fully blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted unsalted butter until well coated.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring even coverage. Dredge in the Panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. Arrange the breaded chicken on the baking sheet with space for even cooking.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite sides.
