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!

Sounds soooo yummy!! I had my life insurance physical yesterday and started talking food with the nurse. Happened to have a copy of your crunchy pork chop recipe with me and shared it with her and told her all about SouthernPlate.com. Spreading the word!!
I LOVED THAT RECIPE!!! I sent a copy to all my friends and they all tried it the same night I did so we were all chatting the other day about how good it was! Christy’s a genius isnt she?
Sadly we can not make anything with ranch dressing. It all has MSG and the entire family is very allergic. Wish someone would make it MSG free
Mccormick? has some herbs and spices you could use in grinders… Ranch is just some onion powder, pepper and herbs. if you did that and added that to the chicken im sure it would be just as good 🙂 I dont like using ranch on anything because the MSG gives me headaches so I just do the herbs and it always turns out great!
What about trying one of the Mrs. Dash herb mixtures in place of the ranch. I’ve seen quite a few varieties.

Hi Christy. This also sounds like a good recipe to adapt to turkey leftovers when the time comes. I’m guessing about 2 cups of chopped turkey would do it, and the cooking time would be reduced to whatever the vegetables require. Quick, tasty, and filling either way. Thanks.
Love this recipe! Love your website! I believe we have a lot in common when it comes to food. Also, the spirit of Christmas! Enjoy your day!
