Juicy chicken bakes with barbecue, ranch, melty cheddar, and crispy onions for a comforting Southern dish.

# What You'll Need:

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - Lightly grease a baking dish and place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
03 - Evenly coat the chicken with barbecue sauce, then drizzle ranch dressing over the top.
04 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and top with crispy fried onions.
05 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted.
