- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Make sure they’re cozy; they’ll be here a while!
- Spread the ranch mixture generously over each chicken breast. Don’t be shy now; give them a nice coating!
- Top each chicken piece with a sprinkle of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Yes, we’re going for an ooey-gooey cheese effect—because why not?
- Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Remember, a little seasoning goes a long way in making those flavors pop!
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil (to keep all the goodness inside) and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the chicken is cooked through. You want that glorious golden magic happening on top!
