Instructions

Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 2 cutlets.

Mix garlic powder, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Season both sides of the chicken.

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep covered.

In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds.

Add flour and cook for another 30 seconds while stirring.

Slowly whisk in chicken stock to make a smooth sauce.

Lower the heat, then whisk in sour cream and Ranch seasoning. Remove from heat.

Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over each piece before serving.

Notes

You can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier sauce.

Adjust Ranch seasoning to taste if using a homemade mix.

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or over pasta to soak up the sauce.
