Notes
- Store leftover baked ranch chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat chicken in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain its crispy coating.
- Serve this chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
- For an extra flavorful crust, try adding a pinch of dried dill to the bread crumb mixture.
