Today, my mom and I are sharing a super easy dinner recipe that requires just a few ingredients and only one pan = minimal mess and clean up! You likely already have all of these ingredients, so this could definitely be an easy dinner option for tonight!
Creamy Ranch Chicken
Ingredients:
Chicken:
- 3 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt/Pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, can sub vegetable or canola oil
Sauce:
- 10.5oz cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temp
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1oz packet ranch seasoning mix, about 3 tablespoons
Instructions:
- Prep chicken- pound with meat tenderizer if needed. Aim for 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Sprinkle each side of the chicken with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Brush 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. Add 2-3 pieces of chicken, leaving room around each. Saute for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden brown crust has developed. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
Make the Sauce:
- Using the same pan, remove the oil and wipe down – we just pour the oil out and give a quick wipe with a napkin. 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.
- Enjoy!
We typically serve this with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles- the sauce is so good, so you’ll likely want to pour it over everything! Add in a vegetable or salad and you have a quick and easy dinner! We hope you all enjoy this recipe and as always thank you for tagging us whenever you make these! -Nina and Alexa
