- 1 ½ cups Milk
- 1 cup Sour Cream (at room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 3 tablespoons Ranch Seasoning (dry)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets for even cooking. In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup flour, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Coat each chicken cutlet lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the floured chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Ranch Sauce: Mix the Sauce Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 ½ cups milk, 1 cup sour cream, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and 3 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning until smooth.
- Combine & Simmer: Add Sauce to the Pan: Pour the creamy ranch sauce into the skillet and stir well to combine. Return Chicken to the Pan: Nestle the cooked chicken back into the sauce, making sure it's well coated.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let everything cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to fully cook through.
- Serve: Serve the creamy ranch chicken over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
