Garlic Ranch & Parmesan Crusted Baked Chicken
1 lb. Boneless skinless chicken breasts or breast tenders
1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
8 oz. sour cream
1/2 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and poultry seasoning. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, ranch dip mix and garlic. Dip chicken in ranch dip mix, and then roll in bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to make crumbs cling. Place in shallow baking pan. Bake 45 minutes or until golden.
Optional: Garnish with canned mushrooms and sliced mozzarella cheese.
In the last 15 minutes of bake, top chicken with thoroughly strained and dried mushrooms (pat dry with paper towel), then lay thin slices of mozzarella cheese over the mushrooms and chicken, place back in oven for last 15 minutes at 425 F until cheese bubbles and browns.
Serve with your preferred pasta and sauce on the side!
