Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts For even cooking, consider butterflying or pounding for uniform thickness.
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream For lower fat, substitute with half-and-half or a milk-flour mix.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing the chicken.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Vegetables
  • Vegetables for serving (e.g., broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers)
  • Baked potatoes As a hearty side.

Method
 

Cooking Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the ranch seasoning mix, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer.
  2. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover with the sauce, and simmer for a few more minutes.
  3. Serve with steamed vegetables and baked potatoes, spooning extra sauce over the vegetables and potatoes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze in meal-sized portions for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to maintain sauce texture.
