- 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Gravy:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup whole milk or 2% milk
- 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season and Cook Chicken: In a bowl, combine ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Season chicken pieces with the mixture. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Make Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in cream of chicken soup, milk, and ranch seasoning mix. Simmer until smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Simmer: Return chicken to the skillet and stir into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in sour cream until smooth. Garnish with parsley or green onions, if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- You can sear the whole chicken breasts before cutting them into bite-sized pieces for a juicier result.
- Adjust the amount of ranch seasoning to your preference.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicier gravy.
- You can substitute boneless pork chops or turkey cutlets for the chicken.
- Add sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, peas, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day!
