Instructions

Creating the Easy Pepper Jack Crack Chicken is simple and enjoyable. Just follow these steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the chicken breasts until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes each. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Combine Ingredients: To the garlic, add the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined and creamy.
4. Add the Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, covering them with the creamy sauce. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes.
5. Incorporate Cheese: During the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle in the shredded pepper jack cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.
6. Add Green Onions: Toss in the diced green onions, mixing well to combine all of the flavors.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
8. Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

This straightforward approach ensures a delicious, creamy chicken dish that fits right into your busy lifestyle!
