Ingredients
  

Chicken and Sauce
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 8 oz cream cheese Cubed
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken pieces in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  2. Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix over the chicken and stir to coat.
  3. Add the cubed cream cheese, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Serve the creamy ranch chicken immediately over rice, pasta, or with a side of vegetables.

You can substitute milk for heavy cream if you prefer a slightly lighter sauce, but the texture will be thinner. For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper before serving.
