  • Author: Jennie Graham
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Tender chicken thighs coated in a rich, creamy ranch glaze that’s ready in just 30 minutes for the perfect weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 oz packet ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into 2-3 thinner pieces. Pound with meat tenderizer if needed to achieve ½ inch thickness.
  2. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush one side with melted butter.
  3. Heat olive oil in large pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown crust develops. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, onion powder, and ranch seasoning to same skillet over medium heat. Stir until combined and let bubble gently for 5 minutes.
  5. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over top. Cover partially and let chicken heat through for about 10 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately with baked potatoes, spooning extra sauce over sides.

Notes

  • Let sour cream come to room temperature before adding to prevent curdling
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing chicken – work in batches for proper browning
  • Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer to avoid breaking the creamy base
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature
  • Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days
