Description
A quick and delicious creamy ranch chicken dish that’s easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5–8 oz. each)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (1 oz.) packet ranch seasoning mix
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the olive oil.
- Sear the chicken on each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to low and add the remaining butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about one minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the pan.
- Add milk, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until combined.
- Return the chicken and any plate juices to the pan and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Simmer until the chicken is heated through.
- Dish and serve hot, topped with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for breasts or add red pepper flakes for some heat.
