Ingredients

2 cups ranch seasoning

8 ounces cream cheese

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning and cream cheese until well combined. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat with the ranch mixture, making sure to get some under the skin as well.

Place the chicken breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour the chicken broth over the top. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best served fresh, but if you do have leftovers, let them cool completely and then refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking. When reheating, you can microwave the leftovers for 2-3 minutes or reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
