# What You’ll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 pounds)

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 cups broccoli florets

→ Seasonings & Oils

03 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.

03 - Transfer coated chicken and broccoli to the prepared sheet pan, positioning chicken breasts on one side and spreading broccoli florets evenly on the other side.
04 - Roast in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until chicken reaches near completion and broccoli becomes crisp-tender.
05 - Remove sheet pan from oven and distribute shredded cheddar cheese evenly over chicken breasts and broccoli florets.
06 - Return pan to oven and broil on high setting for 2 to 4 minutes, until cheese melts completely and develops golden spots.
07 - Allow dish to rest for 2 minutes before serving while still hot.
