How to Make Cheddar Ranch Chicken

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and season lightly with black pepper.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Ranch Mixture

In a bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 4: Spread the Sauce

Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 5: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 6: Bake

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Top with green onions or bacon crumbles if desired and serve warm.
