    I made this as written and it was so good I tried a variation a week later. I used the same procedure but put a layer of cut up potatoes under everything else. The chicken came out just as well, and the potatoes were perfect cooked and seasoned. This recipe reminds me of a “chicken bake” from Costco. I like those and I love this recipe. Thank you for sharing it!

    I made this last night and it is so good. I might use a little more ranch next time as my chicken pieces were pretty large.
