Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup milk

1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the chicken: In a large baking dish, drizzle olive oil and place the chicken breasts in a single layer. Season with garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.

      Make the creamy mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and cherry tomatoes until well combined.

        Assemble the bake: Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered.

          Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.

            Serve: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve with rice, pasta, or a side of garlic bread to soak up the delicious creamy sauce!
