Cheesy Ranch Chicken is rich and flavorful, so pairing it with sides that balance things out makes for a winning dinner. A crisp green salad or some roasted vegetables (think broccoli, asparagus, or green beans) add freshness and a little crunch.
Creamy mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, or buttered noodles are great for soaking up that cheesy ranch goodness. Other options are creamed corn or a simple cucumber and tomato salad keeps the meal from feeling too heavy.
