Ranch Zip Chicken

Here's a really good recipe I created that has some awesome flavor to it, and if you're like me and you enjoy a juicy, non-dried up piece of chicken, then you need to try this recipe out! It's extremely simple, so it's good for those with little ones. Plus the fact that I know your kids will like this too! Bonus- it's pretty healthy! (sorry, no pictures this time)

Ranch Zip Chicken:
35 min from start to finish

1/4 C olive oil
1 packet of powdered ranch dressing/dip
1/2 C bread crumbs
4 chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat baking dish with non stick spray or use non stick silicone bakeware. Pour oil into a bowl, and dip each side of chicken breasts in the olive oil, coating evenly. In another bowl, combine bread crumbs and ranch, mixing well. Take the coated chicken breasts one by one and dip in the crumb mixture, coating evenly on both sides. Place breasts in dish, and bake for approximately 25-30 min, turning once halfway through.

I also made mashed potatoes and black eyed peas with this, or you can cook up some healthy brown rice and a vegetable. YUM!
