Baked Mississippi Chicken
This tender, juicy chicken is loaded with flavor and so easy to toss together. I love that it’s just 5 ingredients and so easy for any night of the week.

Notes
Be sure to use the ranch seasoning mix and not the ranch dip mix, as the seasoning is less salty than the dip.
We find it too salty to use the full amount of seasoning on just 4 chicken breasts. You could double the rest of the recipe and use all of the seasoning or store the seasoning in an air tight jar for next time.
