Quick and Easy Chicken in a Parmesan White Sauce

5.0(13)

I don't recall where I got this recipe but this is a quick and easy weeknight dinner. My family loves this dish. You can also just make the noodles and use as a side dish. Also freezes well.

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, add more if you likeparmesan
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarinemargarine
4 whole boneless chicken breastschicken-breast
8 ounces ranch dressingranch-dressing

Instructions (10 steps)

01Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
02Marinate chicken in the 8 ounces of ranch dressing. Marinate for 30 minutes. I normally marinate for about 8 hours (I leave it in the fridge while I am at work).
03Cook chicken until done.
04While chicken is cooking, cook egg noodles according to package directions.
05Drain and add butter.

Add the ranch packet, half and half and parmesan cheese and mix well.

07Add chicken to noodle mixture and serve.

08If you want a creamier sauce add more half and half. Or if you like more cheese, add it.

09This also freezes well if you undercook the noodles before freezing.

10When ready to cook, thaw in the fridge the night before and reheat in the microwave. You may need to add more half and half when reheating.
