Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
- Dry the chicken breasts thoroughly with paper towels and generously coat each side with the spice mixture.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken on the baking sheet and drizzle ranch dressing over the top, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
- Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the chicken.
- In another bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then scatter them around the chicken on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in ranch dressing for half an hour prior to baking.
- You can swap out the broccoli for asparagus or green beans if you prefer a different vegetable.
