MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Pan-Seared Ranch Chicken Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Vegetables, Herbs Yield: 4 Servings 3/4 c Greek yogurt 1/4 c Mayonnaise 3 tb Fresh chives; fine chopped -OR- 1/2 ts Dried chives; more for serving 3 tb Fresh dill or parsley; - fine chopped, - more for serving -OR- 1/2 ts Dried dill or parsley; more - for serving 3/4 ts Garlic powder Salt & black pepper 1 1/2 lb Boned, skinned chicken; - up to 2 lb 2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil In a measuring cup or small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, chives, dill and garlic powder; season with 1-1/2 ts salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer half the ranch to a medium bowl. Pat the chicken dry. If thickness varies greatly, pound to an even thickness of about 1/2". Season both sides with salt and pepper, then transfer the chicken to the medium bowl with the ranch and toss to coat. Let sit at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate overnight. (Let it come to room temperature before cooking.) Heat the oil in a large (12") nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, cook the chicken (with the marinade still on it) until deeply caramelized on the outside, chicken releases from the pan, and its juices run clear, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If the ranch in the measuring cup is too thick, add a little bit of water to loosen it. (You should be able to drizzle it easily.) Serve chicken with the ranch passed at the table, and more herbs as desired. Recipe by Ali Slagle RECIPE FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
