Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (use smaller breasts for a lighter serving)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning for a savory flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted for browning the chicken
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil to cook the chicken

Sauce:

  • 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup for a rich base
  • 1 ½ cups milk to create a creamy consistency
  • 1 cup sour cream at room temperature (adds creaminess)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder for added depth of flavor
  • 1 oz. packet Ranch seasoning mix not dip mix for the correct flavor

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breasts into 2-3 thinner pieces, aiming for about ½ inch thickness. Use a meat tenderizer if needed.
  • Pat the chicken dry, then season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush one side of each piece with melted butter.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, onion powder, and Ranch seasoning. Stir to combine.
  • Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 5 minutes, letting it reduce and thicken.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Partially cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10 minutes, letting the chicken absorb the flavors.
  • Optional: Serve with baked potatoes and vegetables, spooning the sauce over the potatoes.

Notes

Serve with baked potatoes and vegetables for a complete meal. Perfect for a cozy dinner with the family!
