“Make It Again Mom” Cheesy Ranch Chicken

Posted January 20, 2023 by Prairie Wife - 8 comments

When the Cowkids say, “make it again mom” I know it’s a winning recipe, and that’s what they ALL immediately said when they tried this Cheesy Ranch Chicken.

This chicken dish can be made with any chicken meat, but I prefer chicken breast. I like to serve it with baked or roasted potatoes because the juice at the bottom of the dish after it’s cooked makes perfect gravy! Another great side for this meal is asparagus or our Smashed Brussel Sprouts recipe!

For our large family of hungry athletes, I have to double this recipe to feed them all. I have leftovers, but that is never an issue for us. Just heat it for lunch the next day or keep it cold and use it to make a chicken salad!
