Ingredients

Scale

  1. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  2. 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

  3. 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  4. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  5. Salt and black pepper to taste

  6. 4 mozzarella cheese sticks (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella)

  7. 1/2 cup plain or Italian-style breadcrumbs

  8. 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  9. 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil

  10. Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  • Stuff with Cheese:
    Place a mozzarella stick (or 1/4 cup shredded cheese) in the center of each chicken breast. Roll or fold the chicken around the cheese and secure with toothpicks if needed.

  • Coat in Breading:
    In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Brush the chicken bombs with melted butter or olive oil, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.

  • Bake:
    Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden, crispy, and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F). For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2 minutes.

 

  • Serve:
    Remove toothpicks and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with a side of ranch dressing, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy finish, broil the chicken bombs during the last 2 minutes of baking.

  • You can swap out mozzarella for other cheeses, like cheddar or provolone, depending on your preference.

 

  • For a lighter option, you can substitute breadcrumbs with a low-carb alternative, like almond flour.
