Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray or olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and drizzle olive oil over them.
In a small bowl, mix ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For variations, try adding cayenne pepper for spice, shredded cheese for a cheesy topping, or dried herbs like rosemary for extra flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
