Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasoning & Creamy Base

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Arrange the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in a baking dish to ensure even cooking.
  3. Mix Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the ranch seasoning packet, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  4. Coat Chicken: Pour the ranch and soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well covered to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the coated chicken.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery for a flavor variation.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes if desired, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a lower fat version, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese.
