CRISPY chicken made with RANCH dip and baked in the oven! This easy Crispy Baked Ranch Chicken recipe only needs a few ingredients and makes a healthy dinner! Serve with a salad or some fresh vegetables on the side! I love making this recipe with chicken breasts and drumsticks so my entire family is happy!
This chicken is:
And even better, I made this with assorted pieces, drumsticks and breasts, so everyone was happy at the dinner table. I’m a drumstick kinda girl, Matthew is a breast kinda boy (too easy, going to ignore) so when we both get our chicken of choice then it’s a happy night.
It’s such a simple meal to make, one that I’ll definitely keep coming back to for dinner time. I hope you enjoy!

I’ve never seen this Dean’s dip before… is it in most grocery stores? Looks amazing! And to use it as a marinade for chicken is pure genius, just saying.
