Instructions:

• Begin by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This helps the chicken cook evenly and remain juicy.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, garlic & herb seasoning, ground black pepper, and Lawry's seasoned salt. Stir until well mixed. In a separate bowl, mix the ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and melted butter until combined.
• Take each chicken breast and first coat it in the dry seasoning mixture, ensuring it’s well covered. Then, dip it into the ranch mixture, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it back on a plate.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to cook in batches.
• Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
• Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve your Stovetop Parmesan Ranch Chicken with your favorite sides, and enjoy the delicious explosion of flavors!
