Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots)

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, approximately 6-7 minutes per side, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and mix in the ranch dressing. Stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is thoroughly coated with the creamy ranch sauce. Let it simmer for an additional minute.
- Plate the creamy ranch chicken next to vibrant, fresh vegetables and baked potatoes for a wholesome meal.
