Creamy Ranch Chicken
Creamy Ranch Chicken is an easy skillet meal with a delicious cream sauce and zesty Ranch seasoning.
Equipment
- Large pan
Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup Use homemade or canned
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temp
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 oz. packet Ranch seasoning mix
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.
Notes
This recipe is in The Cozy Cookbook on page 115. Be sure to use Ranch seasoning mix for this recipe, not Ranch dip mix. Crispy crumbled bacon is also great on top.
