Materials

  • 3 Servings Cheetos or Other Alternative (I like Hot Cheetos)
  • ½ Cup Ranch Dressing Fat Free/Reduced Fat
  • ¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • 1 ½ Pounds Chicken Breast

Instructions

  • Crush up your Cheetos (throwing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin makes this super easy)
  • Mix together your Ranch & Parmesan
  • Cut up your Chicken Breast into strips or nuggets
  • Take out a baking pan plus rack (a rack will prevent your strips or nuggets from getting soggy on the bottom)
  • Coat your rack with some non-stick cooking spray
  • Dunk each piece into your Ranch mix and then into your Cheetos mix
  • Bake on 350F/176C for 30-35 minutes

Notes

Reheat them in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel to help keep the crispiness!
