1. For the juiciest, most flavorful chicken, be sure to sear it over medium-high heat to get a nice golden-brown crust.
2. Adjust the amount of ranch seasoning to your taste preferences. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if you want an extra kick of ranch flavor.
3. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, to find your perfect flavor combination.
4. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a bit of cornstarch or flour to the skillet before adding the liquids.
