Baked Ranch Chicken and Potatoes

This one-pan-meal is perfect when you want something easy and the whole family will love. Baked Ranch Chicken and Potatoes will become a guaranteed favorite!

One-pan-meals are my absolute favorite during the weekdays. I’m usually tired after a day of work and the last thing I want to do is a bunch of dishes after cooking. This meal is always a lifesaver and my family loves it!

Not only is this super delicious, it’s so ridiculously easy to throw together (I think I have it down to nearly 5 minutes of prep). The ingredients are minimal and I usually have them on hand.

I layer sliced onions, then the potatoes, the chicken pieces (thigh or breast meat) a little bacon, and a super easy ranch sauce that makes this dish so flavorful. Top with a little cheese and that’s it! So much flavor!

Baked Ranch Chicken and Potatoes is comforting and perfect for a cozy night in. Serve with a simple green salad and you’re all set!

Equipment

• 1 9×13-inch baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray

Ingredients

• 1 small yellow onion cut in slices
• 3-4 russet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
• 4-5 large boneless skinless chicken thighs or 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 slices uncooked bacon cut in small pieces
• 1 tbsp butter
• 3/4 cup Reduced-fat cheddar cheese optional
• Sliced green onions optional

Ranch sauce

• 1/4 cup half & half or heavy cream
• 1 tbsp light sour cream
• 2 tsp ranch seasoning mix
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F

• Combine all the Ranch Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• Add sliced onions in single layer to prepared baking dish.
• Scatter potatoes over the top of the onions. Do not stir together.
• Place chicken thighs or breasts on top of potatoes, nestling them down a bit so the chicken is level with potatoes.
• Evenly place bacon pieces over the top of the chicken and potatoes, then dot with butter.
• Pour sauce evenly over the top of everything. It won't seem like enough but it is. Trust me!
• Cover tightly with foil and place in preheated oven for 1 hour or until potatoes are soft and chicken is cooked through to 165°.
• Remove foil and add cheese if desired and cook another 10 minutes. Top with sliced green onions and serve!
