Lazy Ranch Chicken Skillet Food

LAZY RANCH CHICKEN SKILLET

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to boil and cook pasta per box directions.
• While pasta is cooking, put frozen veggies and water in a skillet bring to a simmer over medium heat and cover.
• In a large microwave bowl whisk together milk and cornstarch until all lumps are dissolved. Microwave 1-2 minutes, paying close attention, milk will bubble and double in size.
• Remove bowl from microwave and stir in ranch seasoning (I use about 1/2 T.) until well combined, set aside.
• When veggies are tender (about 10-12 minutes) add in cooked chicken, and ranch milk sauce. Simmer additional few minutes (long enough to heat chicken).
• Serve over pasta.

SKILLET CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions; drain and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the Italian seasoning and some salt. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onions and garlic to the same skillet and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the broth, then scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen the bits. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to let the broth reduce. Add the marinara sauce and red pepper flakes, bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and add the drained pasta, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan and basil. Add the cooked chicken on top. Toss to combine, then add more of the mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan or basil until the sauce is just how you like it. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan and a little basil on top.
