Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and dry ranch seasoning mix, whisking until well combined.
Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and creamy. Reduce the heat to low.
Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return it to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
Serve the creamy ranch chicken over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
