Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup ranch dressing

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the cubed chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

    Add Broccoli: Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Pour in 1/4 cup of the ranch dressing and stir to coat everything evenly. If using fresh broccoli, cover the skillet and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender. For frozen, cook until heated through.

      Cheesy Goodness: Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet mixture. Pour the remaining ranch dressing on top. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined, about 2-3 minutes.

        Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle halved cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.

          Serve: Dish out the Cheesy Ranch Chicken Broccoli Skillet while it’s warm. Enjoy this comforting one-pan meal!
