How to Make 3-Ingredient Ranch Parmesan Chicken

Serving and Storing

Serve with mashed potatoes or a green salad. Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge; reheat in the oven to keep the crust crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken thighs?

Yes. Bake boneless thighs 25 to 30 minutes.

Does it taste like mayonnaise?

No. It melts into the coating and keeps the chicken moist.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead?

Yes, plain Greek yogurt works the same way.
