Easy 4-Ingredient BBQ Ranch Baked Chicken
servings
This Easy 4-Ingredient BBQ Ranch Baked Chicken is a simple and quick dinner that is perfect to make ahead for busy weeknights! My favorite part is that you'll barely dirty any dishes at all while creating a flavor-packed meal the entire family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 1-ounce ranch dressing seasoning packet
- 4 6-ounce chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup regular or reduced-sugar BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Slice and pound your chicken. Lay each chicken breast flat on your cutting board and slice it in half lengthwise to make two thin cutlets. Place the cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and give them a gentle beating with a meat mallet until they are an even thickness, about a half inch. Thin chicken cooks faster, stays juicier, and soaks up that BBQ sauce in all the right ways.
- Season both sides. Season each cutlet on both sides with salt and pepper. Do not skip this step. It is the foundation of flavor before anything else goes on.
- Empty the ranch packet in a mixing bowl or shallow plate. Dredge each chicken breast in the ranch powder, coating all sides of the chicken, and shake off the excess.
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and BBQ sauce.
- Line the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the BBQ sauce over all the chicken. Bake uncovered until done, 20-25 minutes.
