“Creamy Ranch Chicken

INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 5-8 oz. each
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
Fresh parsley, to garnish optional

1 cup low sodium chicken broth
cup milk
cup sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1 thickness using a meat mallet and season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. In a 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.

4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits stuck to the pan.
