Ranch chicken is our absolute FAVORITE weeknight meal! In fact, there are tons of different recipes you can make with a packet of ranch seasoning.

Prefer to make your own ranch seasoning from scratch? Try out this simple recipe here!

It’s so easy to make, and is PACKED with flavor.

We used to fry this dish on the stove top in a LOT of butter.  It was amazing…BUT in the interest of healthy living, we started baking it instead.

It’s still amazing!
