  1. Baked chicken with dry ranch dressing mix and mayonnaise

    This is really a delicious chicken dish. The only problem I had was the "sauce" was a little on the thin side, but I just added another 1/4 cup of parmesean cheese and it helped thicken it up. I took the chicken and mushrooms out and plated it then added some cooked whole wheat rotini to the sauce and made a really yummy "cheesy noodles" side dish. Thanks for this great recipe :)

     

  2. Baked chicken with dry ranch dressing mix and mayonnaise

    VERY good! Made as directed, except forgot the cream (didn't need), and added garlic powder, paprika and black pepper. Topped with lots of freshly grated parmesan. Used 2 very large and thick breasts (still partially frozen). Very nice zing to the dish! Both DH and I enjoyed it very much. Baked just 45 minutes -- started at 375 then decreased to 350 when I saw the cheese getting dark-ish. Served sauce over rice. Thanks so much Laura. This will be a staple in our home!

Why does mayonnaise keep chicken moist?

Most recipes use butter or oil for cooking chicken, but mayo is the better fat option when it comes to producing juicy chicken. While it cooks, the chicken will absorb fat from the egg and oil in the mayo, keeping it moist while adding flavor.

What is the temperature for baking chicken?

You can roast or bake anywhere between 325 and 450 degrees F. When roasting a whole chicken, a nice rule of them is to start at 400 to 425 degrees F and then turn the oven down to 350 after 15 minutes and cook until the internal temp of the chicken is 165 – 175 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.

How long does it take to bake chicken parts at 350?

How Long Does Chicken Take To Cook At 350 F? In the Oven: Chicken breast will usually take 30 to 35 minutes to bake at 350 F but could take less time if it is thin.

How do you make seasoning for chicken breast?

Remember, it's best to marinate your chicken breast overnight to give the flavours time to infuse. A faster way to add flavour is to simply brine your chicken breast in salty water prior to cooking. This will help tenderise the meat and add extra flavour.
