Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

4. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt and the flavors meld together, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the ranch dressing over the top. Finish the dish by sprinkling the sliced green onions as a fresh, flavorful garnish.
