Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breast
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 Salt/Pepper To taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Use 1-2 tablespoons
Sauce
  • 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream at room temperature
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 oz. packet Ranch seasoning mix

Equipment

  • Large pan or skillet
  • Meat tenderizer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken into 2-3 thinner slices. Pound with a meat tenderizer if needed to aim for ½ inch thick slices.
  2. Pat the chicken completely dry and sprinkle each side with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Brush one side of each piece with melted butter.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden brown crust has developed. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Add the sauce ingredients to the same skillet over medium heat. Stir until combined. Let the sauce bubble gently and reduce for 5 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
  5. Cover the skillet partially and let the chicken heat through and absorb the sauce flavors for about 10 minutes.

Notes

You can serve this dish with baked potatoes and spoon the extra sauce over each potato.
