Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the coated chicken.
Dot the top of the cheese with small pieces of butter to help keep the chicken moist during baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
