Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb thin-sliced chicken breasts raw
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more if needed
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix about 1 oz
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly grease the parchment paper or baking sheet.
  • Arrange the thin-sliced chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping slightly if needed.
  • Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, paprika, and garlic powder over the chicken.
  • Use your fingers or a brush to press the seasonings lightly into the chicken for better coverage.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part.
  • Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes for a more golden top, watching carefully.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.

Notes

Thin-sliced chicken cooks quickly, so check early to avoid drying it out. Resting helps keep the chicken juicy.
