Description
Keto Baked Cheesy Ranch Chicken Thighs: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Make the ranch mixture: In a bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, sour cream, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
- Coat the chicken: Using a brush or your hands, spread the ranch mixture evenly over each chicken thigh, ensuring full coverage.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of each coated thigh.
- Bake: Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- For an extra crispy topping, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor before serving.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked through to 165°F (75°C).
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning based on personal preference.
