Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a generous amount of ranch seasoning. Pat the chicken dry to ensure a good sear during cooking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.
  3. Make the Creamy Ranch Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream while scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the remaining ranch seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them. Let everything simmer together for a few minutes so the flavors meld.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking and the chicken is heated through, remove from heat. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook chicken in batches if needed for even cooking.
  • Use room temperature chicken for faster, more even cooking.
  • Let the sauce simmer to deepen flavors and thicken properly.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end to taste with salt or ranch seasoning.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact in the sauce.
