Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs

Cheesy Ranch Topping

  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning (dry mix)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (full-fat for keto)
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Arrange the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a single layer in a baking dish. Season them generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper for enhanced flavor.
  3. Make Cheesy Ranch Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the dry ranch seasoning packet, full-fat mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
  4. Coat Chicken: Evenly spread the cheesy ranch mixture over each chicken thigh, making sure every piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The dish is ready when the cheesy topping is golden brown and bubbly, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked and juicy.

Notes

  • Use full-fat mayonnaise to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
  • Check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure safety and juiciness.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on your preferences.
  • For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
