Creamy Ranch Chicken

 Creamy Ranch Chicken

Ingredients:

1 small package of Boneless/Skinless Chicken Thighs trimmed

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

½ an Onion Chopped

1 Tablespoon Butter

¾ Cup of Milk

1 10oz Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 Package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix

Salt & Pepper to taste

Or Tonys J

1 package of Pasta, your choice Or Rice

Directions:

Trim all the fat off of your Boneless/Skinless Chicken Thighs, then cut into bite size pieces, and place in a bowl. Liberally pour Garlic Powder and Onion Powder over the cut chicken stirring frequently to coat each piece evenly. Pour your Olive Oil in to your frying pan, heat to medium-high and add the Chicken

Mean while dice up half of an Onion. When your Chicken is about half cooked (most pieces of meat are white now) add the Onion and the Butter to the pan, continue to stir frequently cooking the Chicken the rest of the way through. This whole process should take about ten to twelve minutes. If you aren't sure if your Chicken is cooked through, pick out the biggest piece with a fork, cut it in half, if the Chicken is white all the way through you are good to go! 

Meanwhile, start your water and boil your Pasta, drain and set aside. If you decide to serve your Creamy Ranch Chicken over Rice, you’ll need to start that before you start cooking your Chicken!

The picture above is what your Chicken & Onion mixture looks like completely cooked. I apologize I didn't get a picture of all the liquids together with the Chicken, but as follows are the directions for that part. 

After your Chicken is cooked through and your Onions are clear, add in your ¾ cups of Milk, your can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, and the entire package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix. Bring your liquid & Chicken mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low for ten minutes until slightly thickened. Season again with Salt & Pepper, or for me Tony’s. 

Pour your Creamy Ranch Chicken over Pasta Or Rice, add a little salad or veggie to the side. Super quick and delicious! In the picture I chose to mix all of mine together. If you make it with rice you would be better off pouring it over a pile of rice. Also if you find in your first try that there isn't enough "gravy" you can double the liquid portion of the recipe, or choose not let it reduce as much. Either way it's great! If you choose to chose Tony's you'll get a little more heat in your recipe. 

Enjoy!
