Baked Ranch Chicken with Bacon
This simple recipe is ready in only thirty-minutes from start to finish and makes four generous servings.
Ingredients
-
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
-
1-1½ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
-
Kosher salt
-
Freshly grated black pepper
-
1½ cups Ranch dressing
-
½ cup sour cream
-
¼ cup cooked bacon crumbles
-
Garnish: diced fresh parsley
Method
Heat oven to 190 degrees Celsius and spray a 223 cm baking dish with cooking spray.
Sprinkle both sides of meat with half the grated Parmesan cheese, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Ranch dressing and sour cream. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 66 degrees Celsius.
Set the oven to broil and broil the breast an additional 2-4 minutes or until the chicken turns golden. It will burn quickly so watch closely.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cooked bacon crumbles. Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes before serving.
