Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix (dry)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish lightly with cooking spray or olive oil.

    Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

      Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dry ranch dressing mix, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, cheesy mixture.

        Coat the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the cheesy ranch mixture generously over the top of each chicken breast.

          Add More Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top of the coated chicken.

            Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

              Garnish: Once done, take the chicken out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                Serve: Serve your cheesy baked ranch chicken breasts warm, alongside your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
