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.

- 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 am getting ready for Thanksgiving. We do ours on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. So our sons can have Thanksgiving with their wife’s family This recipe would be good with left over turkey and just put in the crock pot to cook on its own.
LOL, Christy! You’re so right about those holiday police ready to pounce — so over them!!
I was watching this man pick up a turkey at the grocery store the other day and thought, “Isn’t it a little early?” And OH MY GOSH Thanksgiving is next week! I don’t know why this is catching me so off-guard! I better get busy!
Well, that looks yummy – I look forward to trying it. I’ve waited, but finally got your cookbook in the mail. Whoo-hoo!
Gee, I don’t think you’re too early decorating for Christmas – of course that could be because my “real-bearded Santa” husband went on his first job today. That officially starts the season for us (and of course, his being so cute as Santa just makes me smile all the more). If I could, I’d send a copy of our photo, wearing our red velvet attire, when I officially joined him as Mrs. Claus. We just love the children’s faces when they spot us – such fun!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
I bought your cookbook after seeing you on Paula Deen. I have been cooking for over 40 years, but could never make a pecan pie that I didn’t want to toss!
I made yours from the cookbook and it is wonderful! Yum!
I needed something quick for supper tonight and this looks like just the ticket since
I have a couple of frozen cooked chicken breast in the freezer and all the ingredients just ready to jump in the pan. You couldn’t have post this at a better time! Thank you so much, this looks extra yummy! 🙂
Christy, you are so crazy — you never disappoint! I’ve been making this same recipe for years –without the ranch dressing mix or noodles– I use white rice instead. Deelish!! OK, so it’s not quite the same. lol But I do plan to try it with the dressing and noodles. Thanx for the tip. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and all.
