Ranch seasoning isn’t only for salads. Chicken and ranch pair so well, have you given this Baked ranch chicken legs and vegetables a try yet? I absolutely love this recipe for its simple flavor and ease of making.

How to make Creamy Ranch Chicken

  • Start with cutting the chicken breast into cutlets. Cut the chicken into 2 pieces by running through the knife horizontally. Pound any thick part of the chicken to even thickness. This step ensures the chicken is cooked evenly and also remains juicy.
  • Season chicken on both sides well.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet for a perfect sear. Heat oil and butter, sear seasoned chicken on both the sides until golden brown in color. Keep it covered.
  • In the same pan saute garlic until aromatic. Add flour and cook for 30 seconds
  • Add chicken stock to make a smooth sauce. Then add sour cream and ranch seasoning. The sauce will look glossy and thick.
  • Add back the cooked chicken. Spoon over some of the sauce. Sprinkle chopped parsley.

  1. Can I use heavy cream instead of sour cream?

    1. Subhasmita says:

      Sour cream gives a different flavour. But you have heavy cream, you can use that as well.

  2. Where can I find or make ranch seasoning?

    1. Subhasmita says:

      I used the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix. You should be able to find it in supermarkets nearby.
