- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, ranch seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Dip your pounded chicken, one at a time, into the egg wash mixture, making sure to cover both sides of the chicken.

- Salt and pepper the chicken on both sides.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer.
- Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
