FRENCH'S TANGY RANCH CHICKEN (BAKED OR STIR-FRY)



French's Tangy Ranch Chicken (Baked or Stir-Fry) image

I found this in the coupon section of the Sunday paper. If you love mustard and ranch, this is for you! The brown sugar adds a sweet little kick. Our kids can't get enough of it, even when we serve it with veggies and rice as a "stir-fry"! I've included the instructions on how to make baked chicken breast. Stir-fry instructions are included below the full breast instructions. I've made it both ways and it's fantastic! (I've also used fat-free, light and full fat ranch and Splenda brown sugar I couldn't tell the difference.)

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup light ranch dressing
1/3 cup yellow mustard
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Mix ranch, mustard and brown sugar. Reserve 1/2 c of sauce.
  • With the reserved 1/2 c sauce, heat in a saucepan over Medium heat, stirring slowly, but constantly until it starts to get bubbly. Remove from heat. (This wasn't on the French's site but I always do it to get the brown sugar to blend into the recipe a little better. Use your own judgment.)
  • Coat chicken with remaining, uncooked sauce in a 3 qt baking dish.
  • Bake chicken at 350 for 30 minutes or until juices are no longer pink. Serve with cooked sauce.
  • STIR FRY INSTRUCTIONS:.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients the same but do not heat them.
  • Dice 4 chicken breasts and cook in olive oil over medium heat until no longer pink.
  • Add the sauce and heat until bubbly.
  • Serve over already cooked veggies and rice. (You may hold the sauce in pan over lowest heat setting on your stove while making the veggies and rice, just make sure you stir it occasionally.).

1 Tbsp canola oil
2/3 c low-fat creamy ranch dressing
1/3 c french's yellow mustard
3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

  • 3. Stir sauce into skillet. Cook and stir until chicken is cooked through and glazed, about 5 mins.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful dish, use a combination of buttermilk and mayonnaise instead of just mayonnaise.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make the chicken more crispy, coat it in crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs before baking.
  • If you're using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness before baking so they cook evenly.
  • For a more tender chicken, bake it at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Tangy ranch chicken is an easy and delicious dish that can be prepared in under an hour. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a flavorful ranch coating. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual get-together.
