Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buffalo sauce
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing until fully combined.
Pour the buffalo-ranch mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, coating them thoroughly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the chicken.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with a side of celery sticks, a green salad, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
