Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup ranch dressing
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps

2. Dip chicken in Ranch dressing making sure to coat both sides and then roll in bread crumb mixture.
3. Flash freeze on baking sheet. Once frozen, move to a gallon size zip-top bag, label and return to freezer. When ready to cook, thaw in refrigerator overnight.
