Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt/Pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream at room temp
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 oz. packet ranch seasoning mix about 3 Tablespoons
Instructions
Season/Sear the Chicken:
- Slice the chicken into 2-3 thinner slices. Pound with a meat tenderizer if needed, the chicken will plump up more when cooked. Aim for ½ inch thick slices.
- Sprinkle each side of the chicken with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Brush one 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. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden brown crust has developed. Remove and set aside.
Cup of Yum
Make the Sauce
- 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.
- Optional: Serve with baked potatoes and spoon the sauce over each potato (it is so good that way)!
Notes
- Pro Tips:
- Storage:
- The nutritional information shared is an estimate and is per serving. There are 4 servings in this recipe.
- Important! Be sure to get Ranch seasoning mix for this recipe, not Ranch dip mix, they do taste differently and have different uses.
- If you're not a ranch lover- don't worry. Ranch seasoning adds a lot of zesty, savory flavor to this sauce, but it doesn't make it taste like bottled ranch dressing.
- Crispy crumbled bacon is also great on top of this!
- Frozen vegetables can be mixed into the sauce as well. Add them when you add the other sauce ingredients and give them sufficient time to heat through, then add the chicken.
- If using smaller chicken breasts, consider using 3-4 instead of 2 large.
- Adding Bacon and Cheese: Try my Bacon Ranch Chicken for a fun twist on this recipe!
- Pork Chops: Try my Ranch Pork Chops to switch up the protein!
- This recipe is in The Cozy Cookbook on page 115!
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- It does freeze well, you can freeze baked potatoes with it as well as a side of veggies for easy microwavable lunches or dinners.
