Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces uncooked pasta
2 chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon + 1/2 tablespoon ranch seasoning (divided)
Pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
For serving: freshly grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley (optional, to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil a salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you get 4 thinner pieces. Season them with the garlic powder, 1/2 tablespoon ranch seasoning, and some pepper.
  • Add the oil to a skillet and let it heat up for a few minutes. Cook the chicken about 5-6 minutes/side or until it's golden and cooked through (165F). Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, then add the butter to the skillet. Once it's melted, add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the garlic, followed by the chicken broth, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of ranch seasoning (whisk until smooth).
  • Stir in the tomatoes and continue cooking the sauce until it's reduced a bit (3-5 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, cut the cooked chicken up into bite-size strips.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet and stir/toss and let it wilt for a minute or two, then add the chicken in along with the drained pasta and toss until coated.
  • Serve with parmesan and parsley if desired, and enjoy immediately.

RANCH CHICKEN MEATBALLS & CREAMY RANCH GRAVY #RSC



Ranch Chicken Meatballs & Creamy Ranch Gravy #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. This recipe is one of my families' favorites. It's quick and easy, you can cook it on the stove top or in a crock pot; make and freeze ahead; and it feeds a crowd, i.e., my family! Even the little ones love it, spinach and all! I like to serve over buttered egg noodles with steamed broccoli on the side.

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • MEATBALLS:.
  • Combine all ingredients, except vegetable oil, in large bowl as listed. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are combined. (I use my hands, clean of course!) Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop up mixture and form into balls. When all meatballs are all formed - Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in 12" skillet over medium hi heat. Add as many meatballs to skillet without crowding and fry till all sides are golden brown. (You may need to add more vegetable oil with each batch you fry) Set on rack placed over cookie sheet and continue to fry meatballs until all are done. Place meatballs in oven to finish cooking while you make the sauce.
  • GRAVY:.
  • In large measuring cup or bowl, whisk together Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, milk and sour cream. Set aside.
  • In large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour, mixture will be crumbly and a little dry.
  • Gradually add dressing mixture to pan, whisking constantly. Mixture will begin to thicken almost immediately. Continue to whisk, adding in pepper, salt,nutmeg, scallions and parmesan cheese. Turn heat to lowest setting and cover.
  • Remove meatballs from oven and place on large platter or dish. Spoon gravy over top, sprinkle chopped scallions over top, and serve extra gravy on the side.
