Notes
- Protein Variations: You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or tenderloins instead of chicken breasts.
- Add Veggies: Try adding spinach, broccoli, or other vegetables for extra nutrition.
- Adjust Seasoning: If you're sensitive to ranch seasoning, start with half the packet and adjust to taste.
- Storage & Freezing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. For freezing, let the chicken cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe bag. It will keep for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
