Description
Creamy Ranch Chicken is a quick and comforting dish that transforms any weeknight dinner into a special occasion with rich flavors from a simple ranch sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- Make the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream with the ranch dressing mix. Pour this mixture over the browned chicken in the skillet.
- Add the broth: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring gently to combine everything.
- Simmer: Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve: Plate your creamy ranch chicken alongside steamed vegetables and baked potatoes for a complete meal.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of chicken broth.
