Quick and Easy Crunchy Ranch Chicken

I was a little hesitant to share this recipe because is is so basic. But then I thought about it and realized that that is exactly why I should share it....everyone needs a delicious but quick dinner every now and then...especially one that gets inhaled by the kids, right??

And just how simple is this....well, the other day I wrote out these instructions for B and he pulled it off just fine. Not to mention how proud he was of the fact that he made a good tasting dinner beyond his "Daddy Pasta." If B can make this, anyone can!

1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper, cooking spray

2. Mix dry ranch seasoning and yogurt together, set aside. Combine bread crumbs and garlic powder on a plate, set aside.

3. Coat each piece of chicken in the yogurt mix to cover (you will probably have some leftover).

4. Take each coated piece of chicken and press into breadcrumbs to cover, shaking off excess. Lay evenly on baking sheet. Season each piece with salt and pepper, then liberally spray the tops of each chicken piece with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes, the turn each piece over and bake for 8-10 minutes more.
