Ranch Chicken

This is quick, easy, and tastes good. I make this from time to time with Mac N Cheese and a veggie, like roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, etc.

8 pieces chicken breasts, legs, or wings
1 (24 oz.) bottle Ranch dressing
2 c. Italian bread crumbs
2 c. Parmesan cheese

Mix bread crumbs and cheese together. Dip chicken pieces in Ranch dressing, then roll in cheese mixture. Place in large baking pan. Spray tops of chicken with PAM or butter spray (to give some crispiness). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
