My husband hates ranch dressing but I really wanted to try this so I made it and didn't tell him the ingredients. We both thought this was d'lish, even my children enjoyed it. I used boneless skinless breasts and cooked it on a perforated pizza pan to make sure the bottom wouldn't get soggy. Great flavor- the ranch dressing made a simple tangy taste that was perfect.

Tried this following good suggestion about placing on wire rack over a tray to brown evenly and also the oven fry coating but some were still too moist on the bottom. Not as flavorful as I had hoped.

EXCELLENT!!! I used ranch dressing...added a little salt and pepper to the ranch marinade...used boneless chicken breast (as recommended by comments). Baked for 40 mins @400F (as recipe states). Absolutely LOVED!!! Served with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic roasted asparagus. YUM!

Very good, even with boneless chicken breasts; making it even healthier!

taste was pretty good, but got really soggy on underside. Maybe I should have flipped it halfway through cooking?

I love this recipe! I use creamy italian instead of ranch, I think it gives it a little more flavor.

LOVE this recipe, not only is it simple, it is one of the best healthy dinners we make. We have this at least once a week now. We make with boneless, skinless chicken breats and add hot sauce to the ranch dressing when marinating. I cannot recommend this enough!

My 12 y/o and i are partial to chicken thighs, so that's what i used, and the store i went to didn't have the shake and bake used in this recipe so i used extra crispy. although next time i'll have to use 2 packets because i barely covered the last two thighs. my picky daughter loved the dish and so did i, it was easy and delicious, a nice cheat to salving over a hot stove and getting burnt by hot grease

We LOVED this!!! I am not a person that puts/dips things in ranch, but it didn't taste like ranch. It just gave it a nice zesty zip! My husband, who loves ranch, didn't even know there was ranch! The only thing that was a big pain was cutting up the whole chicken. Next time, I'll buy fresh breasts or chicken pieces already cut.
