Helpful Recipe Tips
- Ranch seasonings vary, if you use hidden valley it is seasoned very well and won't need anything else including salt. If you go with the other I recommended you may need salt. I know you will with select savory's version.
- To thicken sauce, when fresh out of the oven the sauce with be piping hot and thin like water. To fix that you can allow it to cool or a quick fix make a slurry with a starch or mix xanthan gum in butter or some sort of oil. 1/2 teaspoon for Xanthan Gum or 1 tablespoon of tapioca or arrowroot starch. Be sure to remove chicken before adding thickeners.
- Bake covered first if using thick pieces of chicken breast. If not they won't be cooked through in just 30 minutes due to their thickness. Always check for doneness.
