- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, and dry ranch seasoning mix. Mix until well combined.
- 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.
