Ranch Cheddar Chicken

This Ranch Cheddar Chicken has a creamy, and flavourful taste which when combined with Mayonnaise makes for a delightful Chicken dinner recipe that will force you to lick your fingertips.

Ingredients:

  • Chicken breasts - You can use boneless Chicken Thighs as well.
  • Ranch Dressing or Ranch Seasoning Mix
  • Mayonnaise - You can use Low fat Mayonnaise is you have to.
  • Minced Garlic - to build the flavours.
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • Panko Breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs) - You can use gluten free Breadcrumbs.

How to make Ranch Cheddar Chicken (STEP BY STEP GUIDE)

Step 1: Combine Ranch Dressing, Mayonnaise, and Minced Garlic

So, first of all, you need to combine Mayonnaise with Ranch dressing and Minced garlic. If you want you can use Garlic Powder in place of minced garlic. I am not adding any other herbs since Ranch Dressing already has herbs in it.

Pour on Chicken: Pour this creamy mixture on your chicken breasts.

Step 2: Pour on Chicken

Now pour this creamy Ranch, Mayonnaise, and Garlic mixture on your Chicken breast. Use the back of the spoon to coat your chicken breast evenly.

Step 3: Add Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Now add shredded Cheddar Cheese to your Chicken Breast. I like to shred my cheddar cheese at home, rather than buying pre-shredded cheddar cheese from the market.

Step 4: Add Panko Breadcrumbs and Parmesan Cheese

Now add some Panko Breadcrumbs and Parmesan Cheese to the Chicken Breast. Rub it using the back of your spoon so that the chicken breast is evenly covered.

Step 5: Spray Oil on Chicken

Finally, spray some Cooking Oil on the Chicken so that it comes out crispy and crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Oil also prevents the chicken from going dry when it is in the hot oven.

Step 6: Bake your Chicken Breasts

Finally, bake your Chicken Breasts in a Preheated oven at 425°F (220C) for 25-minutes or until the Chicken is completely cooked through.

Can I add Bacon to this?

Well, yes. Of course, you can add Bacon to this.

In fact, I am sure you've heard about a popular recipe called Baked Cheesy Bacon ranch chicken.

For that, all you have to do is fry strips of bacon in some butter or hot oil. And then cut them into small bits.

You can simply sprinkle this crispy Bacon bits on your Chicken Breast and serve it with some Steamed Broccoli or Green Beans.

Can I Make this in my Air Fryer?

Well, yes. Of course, you can. In fact, I am gonna make Ranch Cheddar Chicken in Air Fryer very soon. So, to make this in your Air Fryer, do the following:

  • Place the Seasoned Side Chicken Breasts down. Bake at 360°F for 9 minutes. Then flip over and bake the other side for another 9-minutes.
  • Your Chicken should have an internal temperature of 165°F. Make sure that your Chicken reaches this temperature before consuming it.
