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)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the cream cheese. Stir until it begins to melt.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Stir in the ranch seasoning mix and heavy cream, blending well to create the creamy sauce.
Step 7
Add the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.
Step 8
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Step 9
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
