Unfried Fried Chicken
** This is by far one of our favorite meals in the Nicholson house.***
Ingredients:
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (I like to cut ours up into smaller pieces)
1/2 cup Ranch Dressing (I usually don't measure, just make sure it is well coated)
1 (6oz) Package Shake 'N Bake Extra Crispy Seasoned Coating Mix (Sometimes we use 2 packets to make it extra extra crisp)
Directions:
Cut up chicken into smaller pieces, about 3 or 4 pieces per chicken breast.
Place chicken in a sealing bag and cover with Ranch Dressing. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to marinate. (It is even better if you do it over 12 hrs.)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place contents of seasoning packet on a plate. (Side Notes: #1: I start with one bag and make sure I REALLY coat them, then if I run out I open a second bag. #2: I usually do this in a small bowl, makes less of a mess.)
Coat each piece of chicken on both sides in the Shake 'N Bake Extra Crispy Seasoning Mix.
Arrange on cookie sheet. Sprinkle any remaining coating over the chicken.
Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until cooked through (180 degrees)
