This Creamy Ranch Chicken is an easy skillet dinner made with tender seared chicken simmered in a rich, savory cream sauce flavored with zesty ranch seasoning. It’s a comforting, family-friendly meal that pairs perfectly with baked potatoes or vegetables.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken:
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sauce:
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 oz packet ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken into 2–3 thinner pieces and pound lightly if needed to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  2. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush one side with melted butter.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken in batches for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add all sauce ingredients to the same skillet over medium heat and stir until combined.
  5. Let the sauce bubble gently and reduce for 5 minutes.
  6. Add chicken back to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top.
  7. Partially cover and simmer for about 10 minutes until chicken is heated through.
  8. Serve hot with vegetables or baked potatoes.

Notes

  • Use ranch seasoning mix, not ranch dip mix.
  • Ranch seasoning adds savory flavor without tasting like bottled dressing.
  • Top with crispy bacon if desired.
  • Frozen vegetables can be added directly to the sauce.
  • If chicken breasts are small, use 3–4 instead.
  • Store refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
