Creamy Chicken Skillet
Creamy Chicken Skillet is one of my favorite meals in one! With the help of ranch dressing mix, it’s seasoned perfectly and bursting with flavor.
Add in some frozen mixed veggies and egg noodles and you’ll be sitting down to a family pleasing supper in no time flat.
For Cream Chicken Skillet you’ll need:
- Chicken breasts
- One can of cream of chicken soup*
- A package of ranch dressing mix (dry)
- One bag of frozen vegetable blend (your choice)
- Egg noodles
- You’re also going to need a little bit of milk, just 1/2 a cup.
*If you prefer to make your own cream of chicken soup, just click here for my recipe.
- Place a little bit of oil in the bottom of your skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Add your chicken breasts and cook over medium heat, turning as needed, until lightly browned on both sides.
- Once your chicken breasts are browned on both sides, add in the cream of chicken soup, dry ranch dressing mix…
- 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.
This is our chicken with our little sauce we made all stirred up.
- 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.
Enjoy!

I made this and it was great! I even passed the recipe on to my daughter.
I just made this and used whole wheat pasta instead of egg noodles. Tastes great!! So much flavor!
you just gave me an idea on how to cook my chicken to add some flavor to it before i put it in a casserole that I make. thinking of combining the first part of this recipe with my casserole recipe where you add the chicken, stove top stoffing and a few other ingredients that i throw in. yep …got some inspiration here. Thanks Ms. Christy I will let you know how this comes out.
I was needing inspiration for some chicken breast that I had in fridge.. Voila, Christy to the rescue.. Thanks
Here is the homemade ranch recipe I used and it came out fine without the dill and parsley.
Homemade Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix
Ingredients
2 Tbsp dried parsley 1 tsp dried dill 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp pepper
Directions
Add each of the dried spices to a bowl and gently stir. Store in a resealable plastic baggie or small ball canning jar with tight fitting lid in your spice cabinet. To make the ranch dressing, whisk together 1/3 cup mayonaisse with 1/4 cup milk (more or less depending on the consistency you want) with 1 Tbsp of the homemade ranch dressing seasoning mix. Season with salt, to taste. Use immediately and can refrigerate for up to 3 days. Makes about 4 Tbsp worth of mix. Or use the ratios above and mix up however much you’ll need!
