Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup ranch dressing

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup diced cherry tomatoes (optional, for garnish)

Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Season each breast with salt and pepper to taste.

        Coat the Chicken: Pour the creamy ranch mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well covered.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken.

            Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

              Uncover and Broil: After 25 minutes, remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with diced cherry tomatoes and fresh chopped parsley or chives before serving.

                  Pairing Suggestions: This dish goes wonderfully with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh garden salad.
