1. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and garlic to the skillet; sauté for 30 seconds.

5. Sprinkle in flour and stir to form a roux.

6. Slowly whisk in chicken stock, simmer until slightly thickened.

7. Stir in sour cream and ranch seasoning; whisk until smooth.

8. Return the chicken to the skillet, coat with the sauce, and heat for another 2–3 minutes.

9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.

Can be paired with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed veggies.

Add a splash of heavy cream for extra richness.
