How to Make Bacon And Ranch Chicken With Parmesan Ranch Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. Place 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 1.5 lbs total) on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup of ranch dressing over chicken breasts, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  4. Bake chicken for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While chicken bakes, cook 4-6 slices of bacon in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat until crispy. Set aside and crumble.
  6. Once chicken is cooked, sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese evenly over each breast.
  7. Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of crumbled bacon.
  8. Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil.
  10. Add 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice.
  11. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is fluffy and tender.
  12. Stir in 1/4 cup ranch dressing mix, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon dried celery flakes.
  13. Cover and let sit for 3-4 minutes to melt the cheese.
  14. Serve the bacon and ranch chicken over a generous portion of parmesan ranch rice.
  15. For a complete meal, add a side of your favorite vegetable and a dinner roll.
