Ingredients

Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 5–8 oz. each
Salt
Pepper

Sauce

3 tablespoons butter divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 (1 oz.) packet ranch seasoning mix
Fresh parsley to garnish (optional)

Equipment

Large skillet
Meat Mallet

Method

Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1” thickness and season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add olive oil. Sear the chicken on each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Reduce heat to low and add the remaining butter. Stir in flour and cook for about one minute.
Pour in chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits stuck to the pan.
Add milk, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and ranch seasoning mix. Stir to combine until the sour cream and ranch seasoning has fully dissolved into the sauce.
Add chicken and plate juices back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Simmer in the sauce until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has reduced slightly.
Dish and serve hot topped with fresh parsley (optional).
