Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the ranch seasoning mix, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure the skillet is oven-safe to make the transition seamless from stovetop to oven.
For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly.
If you prefer a less creamy dish, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk.
