Coated in ranch dressing and then breaded in cheese even your pickiest eaters will love this Cheesy Ranch Chicken.
Adding cheese to any recipe makes it so much better! Everyone in my house loves their cheese and it’s actually a way I get my kids to eat a lot of foods they otherwise wouldn’t. Don’t want broccoli? Just top it with some shredded cheese! Not going to eat your potatoes? Here’s a little cheese on top! It works each and every time =)
How to make Cheesy Ranch Chicken:
Step one: Start by preheating your oven and preparing a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
Step two: Pour ranch dressing into a shallow bowl and in a separate bowl mix up bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese.
Step three: Start by placing chicken first bowl and coat in dressing. Allow excess to drip on then roll in the second bowl to coat in breading.
Step four: Place chicken on prepared baking sheet and repeat with each breast of chicken.
Step five: Spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray and bake.

Here are a few more cheesy ranch recipes that I think you will love:

Have you used ranch seasoning before on this?
I have! If you want the extra ranch flavor it would be great. My family likes the more cheesy and mild ranch taste so I don’t always add it.
