Description
Creamy Skillet Ranch Chicken is a quick and delicious one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken in a rich ranch sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (sliced into 2–3 thinner pieces, ½ inch thick)
- 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsp Butter, melted (for brushing)
- 1–2 Tbsp Olive Oil (for searing)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1½ cups Whole Milk
- 1 cup Sour Cream, room temperature
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- 1 oz packet Ranch Seasoning Mix (about 3 Tbsp, not dip mix)
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner, even pieces. Season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush one side of each slice with melted butter.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken, butter-side down, and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Add Cream of Chicken Soup, milk, sour cream, onion powder, and Ranch seasoning to the same skillet. Stir until smooth and creamy. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Cover partially and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the sauce flavors.
- Serve warm, spooning extra creamy ranch sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Notes
- This dish is best served immediately.
