- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Place the chicken in a large baking dish and pour the dill pickle ranch dressing over the top.
- Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken.
- In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken.
Cooking
- Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

Serving

Notes
To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely, then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating. You can also season and marinate the chicken a few hours ahead.
