Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the cream cheese. Stir until it begins to melt.
Pour in the chicken broth and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the ranch seasoning mix and heavy cream, blending well to create the creamy sauce.
Add the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
