Stovetop Ranch Pulled Chicken
Please view to load content.
For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.
  • To get started: Season boneless skinless chicken thighs with Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Shaker. Place a large skillet with olive oil on the stove over high heat and warm up the oil. Add the chicken and sear it on both sides for a few minutes so that each side is golden brown.
  • Add a cup or so of chicken broth to the skillet (throw a little white wine in there too if you have an open bottle) and cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the chicken cook for 25-30 minutes.
  • After about 20 minutes, flip the chicken over to the other side and continue to cook for another 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and using 2 forks, shred the chicken. You can use this in many different ways -- pile into tortillas or between bread, serve over rice, pasta or salad, eat plain or stir into to soup or stew.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very tasty We made this the original way on the stove and in the crockpot. Both were good but I prefer the crockpot way. My kids like this better now then pulled pork.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Best flavor This marinated chicken is a staple that everyone needs to have on hand for dinners where they don’t have much time to prepare but are still able to throw together something delicious. The chicken speaks for itself and doesn’t need much more than plain white rice or a tortilla shell to turn it into a full meal.
