Ingredients
- 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) s Italian seasoning
- Salt/Pepper
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s butter, melted
- 1-2 tablespoon (23 ml) s olive oil
- 5 oz (298 g). cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) s milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream, at room temp
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) onion powder
- 1 oz (28 g). packet Ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into 2-3 thinner pieces. If needed, use a meat mallet to flatten them slightly, as they will swell during cooking. Aim for slices that are about ½ inch thick.
- Season both sides of the chicken slices with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Lightly brush one side with melted butter, ensuring the butter has cooled slightly.
- Warm olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in portions, allowing each side to brown for 4-5 minutes until a crispy, golden crust forms. Once done, take them out and put them aside.
- In the same pan, combine the sauce ingredients and heat over medium. Stir until everything is well-blended, allowing it to simmer gently for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Return the chicken to the pan, coating them with the sauce.
- Partially cover the pan and let the chicken cook through, soaking up the sauce’s flavors, for approximately 10 minutes.
- If desired, serve alongside baked potatoes, drizzling the sauce over each potato for added flavor.
Notes
- Marinate chicken in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor.
- Use whole milk or a splash of heavy cream to create a creamier sauce.
- Opt for Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier, lighter sauce.
