Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, and dry ranch seasoning mix. Mix until well combined.
  3. Coat Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Dip each chicken breast into the ranch dressing, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheese and ranch seasoning mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Ranch Chicken with your favorite side dishes.
