Discover how to make Mississippi Mud Chicken. A delicious recipe with detailed instructions.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb / 680g)
1 tsp kosher salt (5g)
½ tsp black pepper (2g)
½ tsp garlic powder (optional, 2g)
½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, 2g)
½ cup / 120ml ranch dressing
½ cup / 120ml barbecue sauce
1 cup / 100g shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup / 50g store-bought crispy fried onions

Instructions

Step 1

1. Prep oven & chicken: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat chicken breasts dry and place in a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish. Season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using).

Step 2

2. Make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk ranch dressing and barbecue sauce until smooth. Pour evenly over chicken, coating completely.

Step 3

3. Bake: Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.

Step 4

4. Add toppings: Remove dish from oven and sprinkle cheese over chicken, followed by crispy onions. Return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melts and onions turn golden.

Step 5

5. Rest & serve: Let stand 3 minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken slightly.
