Yield:

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise

1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise

olive oil, or as needed

1 ½ pounds red potatoes, halved or quartered if large

1 pound baby carrots

salt and ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup dry bread crumbs

Directions

Step 1

Combine mayonnaise and ranch dressing mix in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag to make the marinade. Place chicken in the bag, squish around to cover, and refrigerate while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large rimmed baking sheet the size of your oven with olive oil.

Step 3

Place red potatoes and baby carrots along the outer edges of the baking sheet, leaving room in the middle for the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Pour breadcrumbs into a bowl or onto a plate. Remove chicken from marinade and drain off excess marinade. Coat chicken in the breadcrumbs and place on the baking sheet with some room in between the pieces.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn on the oven's broiler and broil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
