Ingredients:
- 680g boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 120ml high-quality mayonnaise
- 28g Ranch Seasoning
- 150g sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C. Note: A hot oven is vital for immediate searing.
- Pat the 680g of chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Keep going until the surface is matte.
- Whisk 120ml of mayonnaise with the 28g ranch packet. Listen for the gritty sound of the spices dissolving into the cream.
- Use a brush or spatula to slather the mayo mixture over the chicken. Note: Ensure every nook and cranny is covered.
- Press 150g of freshly shredded cheddar onto the top of each breast. Press firmly so the cheese sticks to the mayo.
- Place in the center rack for 20 minutes. Wait for the aroma of toasted garlic to fill the kitchen.
- Remove when the internal temperature hits 74°C. The cheese should be bubbling and starting to shatter at the edges.
- Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Note: This allows the juices to redistribute through the fibers.
