Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix together the ranch dressing mix and cream cheese until smooth.
Spread the creamy mixture over the chicken breasts.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in ranch dressing before baking. Use low-fat cream cheese and cheese for a lighter version. Add jalapeños or herbs for variation. Ensure chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internally for safety.
