Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (butterflied into four pieces)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups half and half
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 oz packet ranch seasoning
Instructions
- Season both sides of the butterflied chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, whisk together the half and half, sour cream, black pepper, onion powder, and ranch seasoning. Continue to whisk occasionally for about 5 minutes until the sauce starts to bubble.
- Return the browned chicken to the skillet, cover it with the sauce, and let it simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken is heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a tangier flavor, substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
