Place crackers in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs. This ensures the coating sticks well to the chicken.
2️⃣ Mix the Coating
In a bowl, combine the crushed crackers with mozzarella, Parmesan, cheddar, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, black pepper, and the dry ranch packet. Mix thoroughly to create the cheesy breading mixture.
3️⃣ Prep the Chicken
Lightly coat each chicken breast with ranch dressing on both sides. This helps the coating adhere and boosts the ranch flavor.
4️⃣ Bread the Chicken
Press each ranch-coated chicken breast into the cracker-cheese mixture, coating evenly and pressing gently to help it stick.
5️⃣ Bake
Place the coated chicken breasts into a greased 9×12 inch baking dish.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and crispy.
6️⃣ Serve
Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
