In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and lemon juice.

Dip each chicken piece into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken pieces.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
