Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the packet of ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
Sprinkle the packet of au jus gravy mix over the ranch seasoning.
Spread the sliced banana pepper rings over the top of the seasoned chicken.
Place the sliced butter knobs evenly over the chicken and peppers.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or microwave individual portions with a splash of water to retain moisture.
Yes, but increase baking time to 40-45 minutes at 350°F until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Peperoncini peppers, diced jalapeños, or pickled peppers work well and offer similar acidity and bite.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the thickest part reaches 165°F, or pierce the thickest breast—juices should run clear.
Assemble the dish, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add 5-10 minutes to baking time if cooking from cold.
Check your seasoning mix labels; many ranch and au jus mixes contain gluten. Look for certified gluten-free versions.
