Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Creamy Ranch Chicken:
1. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Combine Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and mix in the ranch dressing mix, stirring until well incorporated.
6. Add Cream: Gradually stir in the heavy cream, followed by onion powder and dried parsley. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
7. Return Chicken: Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat.
8. Simmer Again: Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
