Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Spray bottom of 9x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pound chicken breasts until they about about 1/4" thick (you want them to all be the same thickness so that they finish cooking at the same time).
- Place chicken in a single layer in the baking pan and season with salt and pepper (sometimes I also season the chicken with a little bit of onion powder and garlic powder as well).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, half of the bacon crumbles, and the dry Ranch dressing mix.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over all the chicken breasts in the pan.
- Top the chicken with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cook in oven for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165 degrees).
- Remove chicken from oven and top with remaining bacon crumbles and green onion.
