A flavorful and creamy buffalo chicken bake, perfect for a low-carb dinner option.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Seasoning the chicken enhances its natural flavor.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts until lightly browned on both sides.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a nice texture.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a greased baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the ranch dressing, hot sauce, and garlic powder.
Using a hand mixer ensures a creamy and lump-free sauce.
Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Spreading the sauce evenly ensures every bite is flavorful.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the sauce.
Using freshly shredded cheese enhances the melting quality.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check the chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C).
Serve the buffalo chicken bake hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Adding a garnish like parsley adds a pop of color and freshness.
