Description
A quick and creamy chicken dish simmered in ranch dressing, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet.
- Sear them for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- After browning, reduce the heat to low. Pour in the ranch dressing and chicken broth, making sure to coat the chicken well.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and combines with the ranch dressing and broth.
- Sprinkle dried parsley into the sauce, stirring to combine. Let the chicken simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, it’s ready to be served.
