Instructions
Creating Creamy Ranch Chicken is simple if you follow these guidelines:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the ranch dressing mix, stirring to combine, then pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Mix well and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Return Chicken to Skillet: Add the chicken back into the skillet, covering it with the creamy sauce. Reduce the heat to low.
5. Cook Thoroughly: Simmer the chicken in the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is rich and creamy.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish. Serve immediately.
