Ingredients You’ll Need
(9x13-inch baking dish; serves 4)

- 1 (1 oz) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: 2 tbsp milk or water (if soup is very thick)
💡 Pro Tips:
- Use full-fat soup—low-fat versions may separate.
- Shred your own cheese—pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that don’t melt as smoothly.
- Pound chicken to even thickness (½-inch) for uniform cooking.
