Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1 pack Ranch Dressing Mix
• 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1 cup sour cream

The Ranch Dressing Mix is responsible for that tangy punch, while the Cream of Chicken Soup adds a savory depth. Sour cream brings the much-needed creaminess and smoothness to the dish.

Keep in mind, you can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for the same creaminess with additional protein. Also, the chicken can be replaced with turkey if you prefer a leaner meat.
