A creamy and comforting dish featuring seared chicken breasts smothered in a tangy ranch-flavored sauce, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 10.5 oz can of cream of chicken soup
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 oz packet of ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken breast into 2–3 thinner slices, about ½ inch thick. Season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush one side of each piece with melted butter.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches, buttered side down, for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, onion powder, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir to combine and let it bubble gently over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Partially cover the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Serve the creamy ranch chicken over mashed or baked potatoes, and spoon extra sauce over the top for added flavor.

Notes

  • Vegetable Add-ins: Stir in frozen vegetables like peas or green beans into the sauce for a one-pan meal.
  • Cheesy Ranch Chicken: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken during the last few minutes of simmering for a cheesy finish.
  • This dish freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove.
