Pin This RecipeCinco de Mayo is just around the corner and we are busy testing out recipes for our celebration! This Taco Ranch Chicken is definitely going on the menu! It was SOOOOO good!!!! Chicken marinated in ranch dressing, taco seasoning, olive oil and lime juice. We served this with some rice and black beans, but it would also be great chopped up in tacos and quesadillas!!
The key to evenly cooked grilled chicken is to pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness. We do this every single time that we grill chicken and it is always tender and juicy. We like to let this chicken marinate overnight, but if you don’t have that much time a few hours will do just fine. This chicken was tender, juicy, and full of great flavor. I cannot wait to make this again for Cinco de Mayo!!!

How would you recommend cooking on a flaptop giddle (Blackstone)? Thanks in advance!
@PlainChicken any suggestions on oven cooking this recipe?
Pan sear the chicken for about 3 minutes on both sides. Finish off in the oven – 400ºF for about 10 minutes.
Wondering about converting this to oven or stove top. Suggestions??
Wondering about doing this in the oven or stove top instead of grilling. Suggestions?
Do you use the already prepared ranch dressing or the ranch seasoning dry packets.
Already prepared ranch dressing in the bottle. Enjoy!
Could you use the packet ranch instead of dressing?
You could always make the ranch dressing from the dry mix packet and use that! Yummo!
