- 4 rabbit thighs
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt/Pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Ranch seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
Season & Sear Rabbit
Season both sides of the rabbit with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush one side of each piece with melted butter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2-3 pieces of rabbit in the pan, buttered side down, ensuring there's space around each piece.
Saute for 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining rabbit pieces.
Make the Sauce
Remove any excess oil from the skillet if necessary. Add the sauce ingredients to the skillet over medium heat and stir until combined.
Let the sauce gently bubble and reduce for about 5 minutes.
Return the rabbit to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each piece.
Partially cover the skillet and allow the rabbit to heat through and absorb the flavors for about 10 minutes.

Avoid disturbing the chicken while it cooks to achieve a good sear. It will release from the pan once the crust has formed.
