A creamy, one-skillet ranch chicken dinner packed with rich flavor, tender chicken, and an irresistible ranch sauce.

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5–8 oz. each)

Salt and pepper

3 tablespoons butter, divided

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon flour

Fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)

SAUCE

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

1. Pound chicken breasts to 1-inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.

2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a skillet; sear chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Add remaining butter and stir in flour; cook for one minute.

4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the pan.

5. Add milk, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and ranch mix. Stir until smooth.

6. Return chicken to pan and simmer until heated and sauce thickens.

7. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Add spinach or mushrooms for extra texture.
