A quick and flavorful one-pan chicken dish topped with tangy ranch, smoky bacon, and gooey cheese that is perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Add them to the hot skillet and cook without moving for about 6–7 minutes per side, until both sides are golden and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
  3. Lower the heat to low. Spoon or pour the ranch dressing evenly over each piece of chicken.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the ranch-covered chicken, then scatter the shredded cheese over everything.
  5. Cover the skillet and let cook for 2–3 minutes, just until the cheese has melted and the toppings are warmed through.
  6. Remove the lid, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a different flavor, mix hot sauce into the ranch or use boneless skinless thighs instead of breasts.
