Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Ensures a lean and juicy protein base.
1/2 cup Mayonnaise Acts as a binder; Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitute.

For the Coating

1 cup Panko bread crumbs Gives a light, crispy texture; can swap for regular breadcrumbs.
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Adds savory richness; consider nutritional yeast for a plant-based option.
1/4 cup Unsalted butter (melted) Helps achieve a beautifully browned crust; olive oil can be a lighter alternative.

For the Seasoning

1 packet Ranch seasoning mix Infuses rich ranch flavor into the dish.
1 teaspoon Dill weed Enhances the herby flavor; fresh dill can be an alternative.
1 teaspoon Onion powder Adds a subtle onion kick.
1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper Provides warmth; adjust to taste.
1 teaspoon Salt Balances overall flavor.
2 cloves Garlic cloves (grated) Imparts robust flavor; fresh recommended.
