Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup Italian dressing (any kind to suit your liking)
1/2 cup ranch dressing
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into bite sized pieces.
  • Sauté chicken pieces in a little olive oil until browned.
  • While chicken is browning, combine the ranch and Italian dressings in measuring glass or bowl.
  • When chicken in browned, pour dressing mixture in and cook on low heat until mixture is just beginning to boil and beat throughout.
  • Pour chicken mix over egg noodles or pasta.
  • Sauce can easily be doubled.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality chicken, fresh herbs, and a good quality ranch dressing.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Italian ranch chicken pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
