Juicy pan-seared chicken breasts in a zesty and flavorful cream sauce make this creamy ranch chicken dish a comforting and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5–8 oz. each)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Sauce:

  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 (1 oz.) packet Ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts: Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even 1” thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the chicken: In a skillet, sear the chicken in butter and olive oil until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, make a roux with butter and flour, then add chicken broth and remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer until thickened.
  4. Simmer chicken in sauce: Return chicken to the pan, simmer until heated through, and sauce has reduced slightly.
  5. Serve: Plate chicken, spoon sauce over, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • I used smaller boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5-8 oz. each). For larger breasts, cut them in half lengthwise.
  • Use full-fat sour cream to prevent curdling.
  • Enhance flavor by adding bacon bits or including them in the sauce.
  • Refer to the recipe tips for more suggestions and substitutions.
