This Creamy Ranch Chicken recipe features tender seared chicken cutlets smothered in a rich, flavorful ranch sauce made with garlic, herbs, and sour cream, perfect for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 large Boneless Chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Mixed herb
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoon Butter

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Flour
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 1.5 tablespoon Ranch Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Cut each chicken breast horizontally into 2 cutlets to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
  2. Season Chicken: Mix garlic powder, mixed herb, salt, and pepper. Season both sides of the chicken cutlets evenly with this spice blend.
  3. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil and 1.5 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken cutlets on both sides for 3-4 minutes each until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Rest Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pan and keep it covered to retain warmth and juices while you prepare the sauce.
  5. Make Sauce Base: In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Thicken Sauce: Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and cook for another 30 seconds, creating a roux to thicken the sauce.
  7. Add Stock: Slowly whisk in 1 cup of chicken stock, continuously whisking to form a smooth sauce without lumps.
  8. Finish Sauce: Lower the heat and add sour cream and ranch seasoning to the sauce. Whisk thoroughly until combined and heated through, then turn off the flame.
  9. Combine and Serve: Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet and spoon the creamy ranch sauce over them. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For juicier chicken, allow the cutlets to rest covered after searing.
  • You can substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock for a lighter flavor.
  • Adjust ranch seasoning quantity to taste depending on its saltiness and your preference.
  • Serve this dish with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
