- Dredge the chicken breasts first through mayo on both sides, then through the breadcrumb mixture. Place into the prepared baking dish.

Notes
You can mix some spices into your breadcrumbs like chili powder, jerk spice, etc. Get creative with your coating! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat so the chicken stays crispy, bake at 400°F for 5 minutes or until heated through. You can freeze this ranch chicken either before or after baking. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer them to a large freezer bag or airtight container. This will prevent them from freezing into a block together. Freeze for up to 3 months!
