Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1 packet ranch flavoring mix

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or softened cream cheese), minced garlic, grated cheddar cheese, and ranch flavoring mix. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully coated.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.

Tips and Conclusion

Customization: Add cooked bacon bits or chopped green onions to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
