Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients and chop the chicken breasts into manageable pieces.

Cook the Base

  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then brown it for about 5 minutes on each side.

Create the Ranch Mixture

  • In a bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, sour cream, and chicken broth together until well combined.

Assemble the Chicken

  • Transfer the browned chicken into a baking dish.

Pour the Sauce

  • Pour the creamy ranch mixture generously over the chicken.

Add Cheese

  • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the chicken.

Bake It Off

  • Place the dish into a preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving it hot.

Notes

For a spicier version, consider adding red pepper flakes to the ranch mixture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
