  • 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.

Chicken in Sauce in Skillet

  • 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.

  1. Sounds wonderful. I am going to try it later this week. I have started cooking for Thanksgiving so I needed an easy dish. Thank you . ( By the way, I am also cooking some things from your cookbook. Anxious to try them.)

  2. Looks like a great dish and quick to fix so will be great for the upcoming busy, busy season. I love Christmas and will probbaly put my decorations up the day after Thanksgiving. It is a lot of work so I think I want to have time to enjoy them. When we were little-my parents did not put the tree up till Christmas Eve and took it down the day after. I always felt cheated because all over town others had their tree much longer. I do have to admit I really don’t much like the tree up long after Christmas though. I had a neighbor who kept hers up till February!!!

    1. Jan I bet it would be pretty delicious if you just made a white sauce, maybe even put some chicken bouillion in that, then added the ranch mix to it. I confess I sometimes substitute that if I don’t have the canned soup on hand.

    2. We do artificial here also. I did the real thing for years and I am the one always stuck cleaning up the pine needles that are left behind after the removal. Don’t get me wrong I am not lazy but I have clogged a few vacuums over the years and now that I am older I just am not into crawling around on my knees anymore. This sounds like a wonderful meal, thank you for sharing!

  3. This recipe looks delicious! I’ll have to try this very soon!

    I think it’s great that you’ve already got your Christmas decorations up! And you’re right about the meaning of Christmas being the best thing to be thankful for. I was reminding myself just last night not to let myself get so caught up in the spending, rushing, glitter & lights that I forget the true meaning of Christmas. Thanks for this great reminder!

  4. Lord, thank you. I was just trying to figure out what to cook for supper tomorrow. This will be perfect!! Bless your heart. Now I know what to pick up in the morning.
    My husband, who tends to like boxed foods, will love this. Looking forward to your cookware giveaway!! I’m definitely signing up for that. Never bought a new set and at 58 it’s high time I had a nice set. If I don’t win, it’s going on the Christmas list!!
