Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Take each chicken breast and coat it thoroughly with ranch dressing, ensuring it’s well covered.
Next, dip the ranch-coated chicken breast into the bread crumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

This dish provides a good amount of protein from the chicken, while the ranch and bread crumbs add flavor and texture. Moderation is key, especially with the added fats.
