Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

Recipe Tips

This dish is best served fresh, but you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the chicken ranch in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can also reheat it in a skillet over medium heat.

For an extra cheesy dish, add an additional 1/2 cup of cheese when stirring the ingredients. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a tablespoon of diced jalapeños for a bit of heat.

If you’re in a hurry, you can skip the onion and garlic and just add a tablespoon of onion powder and a teaspoon of garlic powder. The flavor won’t be as intense, but it will still be delicious.

This recipe is also great for meal prep. Double the recipe and make a big batch to enjoy throughout the week. Just store the leftovers in an airtight container and reheat when you’re ready to eat.
