**Instructions:**
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add ranch seasoning mix to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
**Short Tips:**
* For extra flavor, consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts.
* Serve this creamy ranch chicken over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
* Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
* To make it a little spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
* If your sauce is too thick, simply thin it out with a splash more chicken broth or milk.
