Breaded Ranch Chicken Food

BREADED PARMESAN RANCH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine corn flakes, Parmesan cheese, and ranch dressing mix in a bowl. Dip chicken in melted butter; roll each chicken breast in corn flake mixture until evenly coated. Place coated chicken in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OVEN-FRIED RANCH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk the buttermilk, mayonnaise, half of the thyme, 1 teaspoon paprika, the onion and garlic powders, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on each; coat the racks with cooking spray. Combine the breadcrumbs, chives, the remaining thyme and 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Put the white meat on one wire rack and the dark meat on the other rack, skin-side up. Coat the chicken with cooking spray. Transfer to the oven, placing the dark meat on the bottom oven rack; bake until the crust is golden and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly on the wire racks, 10 minutes. Season with salt.

RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
• Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
• Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
• While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
• When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
• Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts in half through the middle so that it looks like you are opening up a book, making 4 roughly equal pieces (they should look like thinner chicken breasts). Place a chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, drizzle with some canola oil to keep the plastic wrap from sticking, and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the other 3 chicken breasts. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper.
• Set up a standard breading station: Mix the flour, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow dish or pie plate. Beat the eggs with the remaining 1/3 cup buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple grinds of pepper in a second shallow dish or pie plate. Mix the panko, remaining 2 teaspoons garlic powder, remaining 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a third shallow dish or pie plate.
• Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat both sides. Let the excess egg drip off, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat on both sides and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pieces.
• Line a clean baking sheet with paper towels or a rack. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until the breading is golden brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet lined with paper towels or a rack. Sprinkle with salt while the chicken is still hot. Wipe the skillet clean if necessary and repeat with more oil and chicken.
