Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season with garlic powder, black pepper, and half of the ranch seasoning mix, rubbing the seasoning into the chicken to coat evenly.
- Make the Creamy Bacon Ranch Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, the remaining ranch seasoning mix, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined. Spread this creamy mixture over each chicken breast.
- Add the Bacon: Top the chicken breasts with the crumbled bacon and the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve your Cheesy Bacon Ranch Chicken with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the delicious, creamy, and cheesy flavors!
Notes
- If you prefer a slightly crunchier topping, you can broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, but keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite veggies or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- For a low-carb version, serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
