I have a new found love for Tessemae’s Dressings. And no, this isn’t an ad or a sponsored post. In case you didn’t know, Tessemae’s creates dressings and sauces from natural, organic foods. All of which are free from artificial ingredients. To my surprise, the taste in no way reflects the high quality ingredients and nutrient content. Even my husband (who doesn’t eat veggies) thinks the Tessemae’s Ranch Dressing is just as good as the OG stuff. Seriously, it’s the perfect key ingredient for this Paleo Jalapeño Ranch Chicken Bake!
I haven’t had ranch in years. I mean, years. I don’t even remember the last time. So, when I tried Tessemae’s Ranch Dressing, I was immediately HOOKED. I forgot just how delicious ranch is! I started adding it to everything- salads, roasted vegetables, chicken, etc. It didn’t take long for chicken and ranch to become a new favorite in my household. I knew I had to share the deliciousness!
This recipe is super easy, nutrient-dense, and oh-so yummy! It’s been a go-to dinner for my husband and I for the last several weeks. Repeat offender, over here! And once you try it, I’m confident you will be, too.
