  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of each breast.
Cooking

  2. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
