This Creamy Ranch Chicken Skillet Dinner is so easy to make!! Quick and easy is the way to go for meals with an emphasis on the easy factor of the meal!! This is one dinner all three of my kids will always eat. (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own to make my journey easier. You can buy them too through my online sales links.)
This has been a huge hit for so many years in my house and would you believe it was the first one I made chicken in a pan, I found the recipe while cruising on Pinterest from The Country Cook for her Creamy Ranch Chicken and it gets made once a month!!! This is so easy to serve over white rice or even egg noodles.
Now if you are like me and cooking is new and can be overwhelming let me give you the one suggestion that has made my life amazing and was a total game-changer, good pans. I have had several cheaper quality pans, it results in a burnt or ruined dinner! These are my set of pans with ceramic on the inside and I will never go back!! Plus you can order a set on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order and bam UPS man is saving dinner time for you when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery! (Don’t have Prime?? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)

Creamy Ranch Chicken Skillet Dinner Ingredients:
- 3-4 Boneless Chicken Breast
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Cans Cream of Chicken
- 1 1/2 Cup Milk
- 3 Tbsp Ranch Dressing Powder Or 1 Ranch Dressing Packet
How To Make Creamy Ranch Chicken Skillet Dinner:
Warm your oil in a frypan/skillet on low to medium heat, be sure this pan has a cover.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the oil in the pan is warm brown your chicken on both sides of the breasts, this takes about ten to fifteen minutes but the chicken won’t be thoroughly cooked.
Remove your chicken from the pan to a plate when it has browned on both sides.
In the warm pan combine the milk, ranch packet, and cream of chicken and mix it up. ( I used a Silicone Whisk to mix mine and not scratch the pan)
Bring the mixture to a boil so it can thicken up in the pan, if the mixture gets to be too thick you can add in more milk to thin it out.
Put your browned chicken breasts back into the pan and reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with the lid.
Allow the pan to simmer for about ten minutes to finish cooking the chicken fully. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken has cooked all the way thru.
Then serve with rice or noodles!!
