4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs total)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup dry ranch seasoning mix
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Place chicken breasts in a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the sauce evenly over them
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top
