Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Boneless Chicken Breasts
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 clove Minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 1 cup Chicken Stock
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 packet Ranch Seasoning
Instructions
- Cut the boneless chicken breasts horizontally into cutlets. Season them generously with garlic powder, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper for rich flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly. Sear the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little more butter if needed and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds, taking care not to let it brown.
- Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Lower the heat and fold in the sour cream and ranch seasoning, whisking well to combine everything into a luscious, creamy sauce.
- Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over the top, and let it simmer for a minute to absorb the flavors. Serve immediately while warm.

- Fresh minced garlic can substitute garlic powder.
- Gluten-free flour works as a substitution.
- Vegetable stock can be used as a warm alternative.
- Heavy cream may alter the flavor.
- Consider homemade ranch seasoning as an alternative.
