  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (or more, to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, mayonnaise, milk, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and hot sauce until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.

Notes

For a creamier sauce, use full-fat mayonnaise. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your liking. You can also add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
