Ingredients
Scale
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons melted butter
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
298 grams cream of chicken soup
360 millilitres whole milk
240 grams sour cream, at room temperature
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
28 grams Ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
Slice each chicken breast into 2–3 thinner fillets. Flatten to approximately 1.25 cm thickness if needed using a meat tenderizer.
Generously season both sides of the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush one side of each fillet with melted butter, ensuring the butter is not excessively hot.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken fillets in batches for 4–5 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add cream of chicken soup, whole milk, sour cream, onion powder, and Ranch seasoning mix. Stir constantly until the sauce is cohesive. Allow to simmer gently and reduce for 5 minutes.
Return seared chicken fillets to the skillet. Spoon sauce over each piece, cover the skillet partially, and let the chicken reheat and absorb the flavors for about 10 minutes, ensuring it is thoroughly heated through.
Notes
Ensure the butter is not too hot before brushing on the chicken.
Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
This dish is best served hot, with your choice of side.
