Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and breasts are best for this recipe. The bones and skin help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Use a good quality ranch dressing. The ranch dressing is the key to the flavor of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a dressing that is thick and creamy, with a good balance of herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Ranch Style Chicken Thighs and Breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a creamy ranch dressing, which gives it a delicious flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. Ranch Style Chicken Thighs and Breasts are a sure-fire hit with the whole family.
