Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
Add the chicken broth, ranch seasoning packet, paprika, cayenne, thyme, onion powder, and oregano to the skillet. Whisk the ingredients together until the ranch seasoning is fully dissolved
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and the flour. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps
Add the Greek yogurt and flour mixture to the skillet. Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and creamy
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is fully coated with the sauce and the sauce is heated through

Don't overdo the cooking: Cook the chicken until it's no longer pink, but don't overcook it or it'll get dry and tough.

Use a good pan: A non-stick pan is a great choice to prevent the chicken from sticking and makes clean up a breeze

Let the chicken rest: Give the chicken a few minutes to rest after cooking to help keep the juices inside to stay tender

Swap the Greek yogurt: If you don't have Greek yogurt on hand, you can use sour cream or even mayonnaise as a substitute. Just keep in mind that these alternatives may alter the flavor some
