If you're searching for a simple yet indulgent meal that the whole family will love, look no further than Rich and Creamy Ranch Chicken. This dish combines juicy chicken breasts with a velvety ranch-flavored sauce, creating a comforting meal that's both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet of ranch seasoning mix

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix, then pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Combine and Cook: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up the flavors.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve the Rich and Creamy Ranch Chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.

Tips

For an extra touch, consider adding some sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the sauce.

This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
