A quick and comforting skillet dinner featuring seared chicken, a creamy ranch sauce, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken and sear for 6–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F / 74°C). Transfer the cooked breasts to a plate and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour 1 cup heavy cream into the same skillet and sprinkle in 1 packet ranch seasoning. Stir, scraping the browned bits off the bottom, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each breast to coat. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese over the chicken.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Serve hot with extra sauce spooned over each breast.

Notes

For lighter sauce, swap half the cream for chicken broth or Greek yogurt. Use turkey bacon to reduce fat, or pre-cooked bacon for speed.
