Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
