Description

A creamy, savory chicken dish slathered in ranch dressing, topped with cheese and crispy fried onions, perfect for any mealtime.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions (store-bought)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper; add garlic powder or smoked paprika as desired.
  3. Grease a baking dish and place the chicken inside.
  4. Brush the BBQ sauce generously over each piece, then add spoonfuls of ranch dressing on top.
  5. Evenly distribute shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken breasts.
  6. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken in ranch dressing a few hours prior for added flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
