Main ingredients

2 pieces chicken breasts Tender and lean
1 cup ranch dressing Store bought or homemade
1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the chicken
to taste Salt For seasoning
to taste Pepper For seasoning
Optional: chopped herbs for garnish Enhance presentation and flavor

Instructions

Preparation

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Pour ranch dressing over the chicken, reduce heat to low, and simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped herbs if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for about 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat. Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier option. Add garlic or onion powder for extra flavor, or sprinkle red pepper flakes for heat.
