Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for added flavor.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the ranch dressing and heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring it to a gentle simmer.

        Add Cheese: Once the sauce is heated through, gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.

          Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to let the flavors meld together and ensure the chicken is heated through.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle dried parsley over the chicken and sauce for added color and flavor. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
