Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- Add a splash of oil if necessary.
- Adjust the heat as needed during cooking.
- Avoid disturbing the chicken while it cooks to achieve a good sear. It will release from the pan once the crust has formed.
