Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Cut chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 cup cream cheese Stir continuously when adding for a smooth texture.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked rice or pasta Serve immediately for best flavor.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Start by cooking the chicken pieces in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink.
  2. Add the ranch seasoning and pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine and let it simmer briefly.
  3. Add the cream cheese and stir until it melts completely, creating a smooth and creamy sauce.
  4. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and continue stirring until the sauce becomes thick, cheesy, and fully combined.
  5. Serve the creamy chicken over cooked rice or pasta.

Notes

Add a splash of milk if the sauce becomes too thick. You can add vegetables like broccoli, peas, or spinach for extra nutrition. You can also use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
