Now this is not my recipe… I got this from Creme De La Crumb but I wanted to share it since it is that good. I lightened it up a little bit and adjusted a couple of the ingredients. This picture does not do it justice; wait until you try it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup lite mayo
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 package buttermilk ranch dressing mix
  • 2½ tsp garlic – minced
  • 1 cup cilantro – chopped
  • 3 tomatillos – husked and chopped
  • ½ tsp lime juice
  • 3-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Directions:
  1. In a small bowl, combine milk and lemon juice and let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Place mayo,  lemon milk, ranch mix, garlic, cilantro, tomatillos and lime juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour 1 cup of the dressing into a large ziplock bag and add chicken breasts. Seal and chill at least 30 minutes or overnight. I would highly recommend overnight.Save leftover sauce in refrigerator.
  3. Preheat oven to 375. Place chicken breasts side by side in a shallow baking dish; discard the marinade from the ziplock bag. Bake 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees internal). Top with the saved additional dressing and serve with rice if desired.
