Creamy Ranch Chicken

Metohd :

. With its velvety texture and plenty of flavor, this Creamy Ranch Chicken is the quintessential comfort dish. Make this delicious meal by following these steps:

. The first step in preparing chicken is to slice the breasts horizontally so the cutlets are thinner. This will help the chicken cook more evenly and soak up more flavors.

. For the seasoning, blend ground garlic with a variety of herbs, along with salt and pepper. By applying this mixture to both sides of the chicken, a flavorful coating will be formed, elevating the meat’s inherent flavor.

. Preparing the Marinade: In a pan, heat the butter and olive oil until they are hot. Brown the chicken on both sides by searing it in a pan for three to four minutes. In addition to cooking the chicken, this gives the top a delicious texture.

. In the same pan, melt more butter and quickly sauté chopped garlic to unleash its flavor; set aside. To make a thicker sauce, whisk in flour. Slowly add chicken stock, whisking constantly to keep sauce smooth. Reduce the heat and whisk in the ranch seasoning and sour cream until a creamy sauce forms.

. Final Step: Coat the chicken completely with sauce before returning it to the pan. The chicken absorbs all the creamy sweetness during this last simmer in the sauce, making every mouthful a joy.
