Cheesy Chicken With Ranch Recipes

BAKED RANCH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Prep Dredge: In a shallow plate, combine the ranch dressing mix with the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Place the mayo in another shallow plate.
• Coat Chicken: Dredge the chicken breasts first through mayo on both sides, then through the breadcrumb mixture. Place into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast.

BAKED CHEESY BACON RANCH CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
• Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken into a stoneware baking dish, so that the pieces are just barely touching, but not crowded. Spread 1 tablespoon ranch dressing over each chicken breast. Top each with 2 slices of fresh mozzarella.
• Cover the baking dish with foil, so that the foil is not touching the cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil. Sprinkle chopped bacon on top of the chicken. Bake, uncovered, for 10-15 more minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of ranch over the chicken.

RANCH CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN (CRACK CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
• Cook the bacon in a large oven-proof skillet until crispy (I cut it up quickly using kitchen shears). Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate, and leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
• Season the chicken breasts with the garlic powder and pepper, then add them to the skillet and sear for 5 minutes/side over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, add the cream cheese (microwave it for 30 seconds or until soft if it's straight out of the fridge), ranch seasoning, scallions, and about half of the cooked bacon to a bowl. Stir until smooth.
• Once the chicken has been seared, take the skillet off the heat. Spread the cream cheese mixture equally over the top of each piece of chicken, then sprinkle the cheddar over top, followed by the rest of the bacon. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the chicken to a baking dish for this step.
• Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. If your chicken breasts are on the smaller side, try 15 minutes then test for doneness (chicken is cooked at 165F).
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes prior to serving so it's nice and juicy.

• Spread mayo mixture on top of each chicken breast.
• Place uncovered into the oven and cook for 30 minutes or until completely cooked through and golden brown on top.
