Description
A cozy, creamy baked chicken dish topped with crunchy buttery crackers, made with just five simple ingredients for an easy and comforting weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 sleeve buttery crackers, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Arrange the chicken evenly in the prepared dish.
- In a bowl, mix the sour cream and ranch seasoning until smooth.
- Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover evenly with the crushed crackers.
- Bake uncovered for about 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crunchy.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Chicken thighs will yield a juicier result than breasts.
- Mixing melted butter into the crackers adds extra crunch.
- Let rest briefly before serving to set the layers.
