This Creamy Ranch Chicken recipe is a quick and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken in a savory ranch sauce.
Equipment
- Large pan
Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt/Pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup https://thecozycook.com/cream-of-chicken-soup-recipe/
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temp
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 oz. packet Ranch seasoning mix https://amzn.to/2CmOfi8
Instructions
Season/Sear the Chicken
- Slice the chicken into 2-3 thinner slices. Pound with a meat tenderizer if needed, the chicken will plump up more when cooked. Aim for ½ inch thick slices.
- Pat the chicken completely dry and sprinkle each side with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Brush one side of each piece with melted butter, make sure the butter isn’t too hot.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden brown crust has developed. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce
- Add the sauce ingredients to the same skillet over medium heat. Stir until combined. Let it bubble gently and reduce for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and spoon the sauce on top.
- Cover the skillet partially and let the chicken heat through and absorb the flavors from the sauce, about 10 minutes.
- Optional: Serve with baked potatoes and spoon the sauce over each potato (it is so good that way)!
Notes
Be sure to get Ranch seasoning mix for this recipe, not Ranch dip mix. Crispy crumbled bacon and frozen vegetables can be added for extra flavor and nutrition.
