Instructions

  • Preparing the Chicken:
  • Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise in half so they are approximately ½ inch thick. Then cut into 1-inch size pieces.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Place the chicken breast pieces in the skillet and season with the seasoned salt and pepper.
  • Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side turning the pieces throughout the cooking. Once they are almost cooked through with a golden sear add the fresh spinach.
  • Let this chicken and spinach mixture continue cooking another minute.
  • Creating the Creamy Ranch Sauce:
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the milk and ranch dressing to the skillet.
  • Stir the mixture well, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any flavorful bits left from cooking the chicken.
  • Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Notes

Serving the Creamy Ranch Chicken:

Serve the Creamy Ranch Chicken hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Recipe Tips for Success:

Add butter to the pan when cooking the chicken pieces for a golden brown crusty sear.
Keep the chicken breast pieces whole. If you prefer doing this method. Make sure to slice in half lengthwise and pound so the meat is melt in your mouth tender.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the seasoned salt and pepper mixture. Garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can add a delightful twist.
If you prefer a milder or spicier taste, experiment with different varieties of ranch dressing. Some options include buttermilk ranch, spicy ranch, or avocado ranch.
For a healthier twist, you can use Greek yogurt instead of milk in the creamy ranch sauce. It adds a tangy creaminess while reducing the fat content.
Use frozen vegetables and just add to the skillet and cook right in the sauce. I would add about 8 ounces.
Add crispy bacon, crumbled. My husband loves his with the bacon!
