BBQ Ranch Chicken – by Machele VanVoorhis
Ingredients
- 1 family-size bag of Lay’s BBQ potato chips
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4-6 large boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Lawry’s seasoned salt
- 1 package dry ranch salad dressing/dip mix
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a 13×9″ baking dish, melt butter in the dish while prepping the chip mix.
- Crush the entire bag of BBQ potato chips (using a rolling pin works well).
- Add seasoned salt and dry ranch mix to the bag of crushed chips, then shake well to mix everything together.
- Wash each chicken breast under cold water, trimming any excess fat.
- Shake each chicken breast in the chip bag to coat, then lay it in the glass dish with melted butter.
- Repeat with each chicken breast.
- After coating all breasts, pour the leftover chips and seasoning from the bag over the top of the chicken, spreading it out to cover.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and scrape the burnt chips on top to the side.
- Serve the chicken breasts. The chicken will be juicy, and the leftover chips, burnt or not, can be mixed with mashed potatoes for added flavor.
