Notes and Tips
- Chicken Thickness: For even cooking, make sure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness. You can pound them to an even thickness if necessary.
- Extra Crispy Topping: If you prefer an extra crispy topping, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Make Ahead: This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Simply bake it when you’re ready to serve.

Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover Cheesy Ranch Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish and warm it in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions.
Food and Drink Pairings
Cheesy Ranch Chicken pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes and beverages. Here are some suggestions:
- Side Dishes: Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh garden salad.
- Beverages: A crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, complements the flavors well. For a non-alcoholic option, try a refreshing iced tea or lemonade.
