🍗 Pepperoncini Ranch Chicken Bake – Just 4 Ingredients, BIG Flavor!

Spicy, tangy, cheesy, and oh-so-easy!
Looking for a low-effort, high-reward dinner? Say hello to this Pepperoncini Ranch Chicken Bake — a flavor-packed dish that comes together with just 4 ingredients. It’s juicy, creamy, and kissed with that irresistible tang from pepperoncini peppers. Perfect for busy weeknights or anytime you need a no-fuss, family-friendly meal!
You’ll Need:
✔️ 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
✔️ 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
✔️ ½ cup pepperoncini peppers, plus juice
✔️ 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
How to Make It:
1️⃣ Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Prep the chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the dish. You can leave them whole or slice them in half for faster cooking.
3️⃣ Add the flavor
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken. Pour the pepperoncini peppers and a splash of the juice right over the top. Use more juice if you like it bold and tangy!
4️⃣ Bake it up
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, top with mozzarella cheese, and return to the oven uncovered for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the chicken is fully cooked through.
5️⃣ Serve & enjoy!
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside roasted veggies for a complete meal.
Pro Tips:
- Add extra pepperoncini juice after baking for a zingy finish!
- Swap mozzarella for provolone or Monterey Jack for a different cheesy twist.
- Want it creamier? Stir in a dollop of sour cream into the baking dish before adding the cheese!
