This recipe uses only three ingredients: bottled ranch dressing, Sriracha, and chicken. It’s quick to prepare and makes a flavorful main course without a long ingredient list. The balance of creamy ranch and tangy Sriracha creates a marinade that coats the chicken well and keeps it juicy when grilled. If you prefer more heat, add more Sriracha; reduce it if you want a milder flavor.
We made the full batch using four chicken breasts so we’d have leftovers. Leftover Sriracha Ranch chicken is versatile — try it sliced over salads, tucked into quesadillas, or served on a flatbread with fresh toppings. It reheats well and keeps its flavor for easy lunches or quick dinners during the week.

Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 cup bottled ranch dressing
- ⅓ – ½ cup Sriracha
