FRENCH'S TANGY RANCH CHICKEN (BAKED OR STIR-FRY)



French's Tangy Ranch Chicken (Baked or Stir-Fry) image

I found this in the coupon section of the Sunday paper. If you love mustard and ranch, this is for you! The brown sugar adds a sweet little kick. Our kids can't get enough of it, even when we serve it with veggies and rice as a "stir-fry"! I've included the instructions on how to make baked chicken breast. Stir-fry instructions are included below the full breast instructions. I've made it both ways and it's fantastic! (I've also used fat-free, light and full fat ranch and Splenda brown sugar I couldn't tell the difference.)

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup light ranch dressing
1/3 cup yellow mustard
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Mix ranch, mustard and brown sugar. Reserve 1/2 c of sauce.
  • With the reserved 1/2 c sauce, heat in a saucepan over Medium heat, stirring slowly, but constantly until it starts to get bubbly. Remove from heat. (This wasn't on the French's site but I always do it to get the brown sugar to blend into the recipe a little better. Use your own judgment.)
  • Coat chicken with remaining, uncooked sauce in a 3 qt baking dish.
  • Bake chicken at 350 for 30 minutes or until juices are no longer pink. Serve with cooked sauce.
  • STIR FRY INSTRUCTIONS:.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients the same but do not heat them.
  • Dice 4 chicken breasts and cook in olive oil over medium heat until no longer pink.
  • Add the sauce and heat until bubbly.
  • Serve over already cooked veggies and rice. (You may hold the sauce in pan over lowest heat setting on your stove while making the veggies and rice, just make sure you stir it occasionally.).

CHICKEN STIR-FRY BAKE

One night I decided to use frozen vegetables in my chicken stir-fry. Not wanting to stand watch over the stovetop, I baked the entree in the oven. People say this tastes like it's hot from the skillet. What's more, it's ready in little more than half an hour! -Carly Carter, Nashville, Tennessee

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful ranch dressing: The key to this recipe is using a ranch dressing that is flavorful and has a good balance of tanginess, creaminess, and herbs. A homemade ranch dressing is always best, but you can also use a store-bought dressing if you're short on time.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help to infuse it with flavor and make it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and that it has a juicy and tender texture.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This recipe is versatile and can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This French's Tangy Ranch Chicken recipe is an easy and delicious way to prepare chicken. The ranch dressing marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, and the baking or stir-frying method results in a juicy and tender texture. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
