Easy Stovetop Crack Chicken Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN

Steps:

• To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
• Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
• Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
• Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
• Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
• Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
• Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

EASY STOVETOP CRACK CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon to your preferred level of doneness.
• Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the hot bacon grease and cook until browned all over and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F (approximately 6-8 minutes).
• Meanwhile, prepare the pasta according to package directions. Drain but do not rinse.
• Remove the chicken to a clean plate as you prepare the ranch sauce.
• Wipe out the skillet and add the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then add the sour cream and cream cheese and stir as the cream cheese melts. Add a bit more broth or milk to achieve a smooth consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
• Season with ranch seasoning, to taste.
• Chop the bacon and add all but a couple tablespoons to the skillet, along with 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and chicken. Stir to combine.
• Add the pasta and stir to coat.
• Sprinkle on remaining cheese, bacon and the green onions before serving.
