MAKE THIS ONE POT CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, RANCH SKILLET – TOPPED WITH BACON AND CHEDDAR CHEESE – IN MINUTES, TO SATISFY YOUR HUNGRY FAMILY.
1 pound chicken breast meat cubed
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. butter
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 cup water or chicken broth to deglaze pan
2 lb broccoli florets cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup quality ranch dressing (NO msg or HF Corn Syrup) – or make your own)
1/3 cup cooked bacon, crumbled – about 6 slices (I buy precooked, real bacon bits at CostCo)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
(DIRECTIONS BELOW PICTURE)
Melt butter with olive oil in large skillet, heated to medium high heat. Season chicken pieces with onion and garlic powder, and saute until lightly brown. Add water or chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Stir and cook for about three minutes. Top with broccoli pieces, pour ranch dressing over broccoli and top with bacon bits and cheese. Reduce heat to medium, place lid on pan and cook covered for five to ten minutes – until broccoli is tender but still bright green.
Serve with a tossed salad. You can also serve with brown rice or quinoa for those not counting carbs.

Hi there! I’m stopping in from Let’s Get Real today. Chicken and broccoli are such a great combination. You just can’t go wrong with that. I bet the ranch adds some nice flavor and creaminess to the dish. I love how quickly this comes together. No need for those bagged skillet meals.
Loved reading the blogs this week on the link up! The Chicken Broccoli Skillet really is nice and creamy – or even gooey!
This looks so yummy and is full of flavors that we really like 🙂 Thanks for linking up this week at Let’s Get Real. I’m going to have to add this to our menu!
Enjoyed reading lots of blogs this week. Thanks for doing the link up! We enjoy this recipe quite often. It is quick and easy!

This meal combines vegetables, protein and dairy in a delicious way!
I love it’s completeness. Sometimes we serve it with Quinoa or Brown rice, if we want to add a carbohydrate. I could eat it every week.
