Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.
Prepare the chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix the ranch coating: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ranch seasoning mix, and shredded cheese. Stir until creamy.
Coat the chicken: Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, covering completely.
Bake: Arrange chicken in the baking dish and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Broil (optional): For a crisp golden top, switch oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely.
Serve: Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and enjoy warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a handful of crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of Parmesan before baking. To make it low-carb, pair with roasted broccoli, cauliflower mash, or a fresh salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
