Quick and delicious healthy chicken that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 envelope of ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water, then pat dry.
  2. Combine ranch dressing mix and Greek yogurt in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts, sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat evenly.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the ranch-yogurt mixture, coating thoroughly.
  5. Line a baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly. Place the chicken in the dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. For lower sodium, use a low-sodium ranch mix.
