This dish was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce next time.

I'm not a fan of ranch dressing, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again, even without the ranch dressing.
