Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to create a paste.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere better and promotes a crispier exterior.
Coat each chicken breast evenly with the ranch seasoning mixture, ensuring it's fully covered.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender chicken.
Notes
Serve this oven-baked ranch chicken with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
