Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place chicken in the bottom of a large casserole dish so that it's flat and not overlapping. Sprinkle the Ranch seasoning over the top of the chicken. Spread banana peppers over the seasoning. Top the banana peppers with pats of butter. Sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese.
Bake on the middle rack in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through 165˚F internal temperature.
Serve hot over rice or with your favorite sides.
8 servings.
*If chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half lengthwise so that they are half as thick to help them cook more quickly and evenly. Chicken tenderloins, chicken thighs or other cuts could also be used, however the cooking time may change.
