Creamy Ranch Chicken is a comforting main dish made with pan-seared chicken breasts smothered in a rich, tangy, and herby ranch-seasoned cream sauce. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s perfect for busy weeknights or family dinners.

Ingredients

2 large boneless chicken breasts

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon mixed herbs

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1.5 tablespoons butter (for cooking chicken)

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon butter (for sauce)

1 tablespoon flour

1 cup chicken stock

¼ cup sour cream

1.5 tablespoons ranch seasoning

Instructions

  1. Cut each chicken breast horizontally to make two thin cutlets.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with the mixture.
  3. Heat olive oil and 1.5 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the chicken on both sides for 3–4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove and cover to keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
  6. Stir in flour and cook for another 30 seconds while stirring constantly.
  7. Slowly add the chicken stock, whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce.
  8. Reduce the heat, then add sour cream and ranch seasoning. Whisk until well combined, then turn off the heat.
  9. Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over each piece.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add red chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Stir in cheddar or parmesan cheese for a cheesy upgrade.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Serve with cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles for a low-carb option.
  • Toss in spinach or kale for added greens.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of stock or water to loosen the sauce.
