  • One can of cream of chicken soup*

Adding oil to skillet

  • Place a little bit of oil in the bottom of your skillet and heat over medium heat.

Browning Chicken Breasts

  • Add your chicken breasts and cook over medium heat, turning as needed, until lightly browned on both sides.

Adding Ranch Dressing

  • Once your chicken breasts are browned on both sides, add in the cream of chicken soup, dry ranch dressing mix…

Adding additional ingredients to cooked chicken

  • Add the milk.
  • Stir that up as best you can.

Note: Your chicken breasts won’t be done at this point, just browned on the outside. That is okay because we’re fixin’ to finish cooking them.

Covered Skillet

  • Now cover and reduce heat to simmer for about ten minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  • After about ten minutes of simmering this is what you’ll have.

That sauce is absolutely delicious and we’re about to toss some veggies into it to make it even better.

I like the California blend of veggies that has carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli in it but you can go with whatever you like here.

  • Pour your frozen vegetables into the skillet and stir them up a bit to coat them.
  • Continue cooking this whole shebang until the veggies are tender.

Salt and pepper to taste if you like, but I like it just as it is.

Voila! Cream Chicken Skillet is done 🙂

The ranch dressing mix gives it a fantastic, well seasoned flavor and the cream soup and milk join in to make a delicious gravy, perfect for serving over cooked egg noodles.

    I made the Creamy Chicken Skillet this past week and it was delicious! I have some pork loin that I cut into chunks in my freezer for pork stew, so I am going to try the recipe again using pork instead of chicken. Thanks for the great recipes!

  2. Could you substitute cooked shrimp with a little lemon juice and Italian seasoning instead of ranch?
