Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper (optional since the ranch seasoning has salt).
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix into the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon additional sauce over the chicken before serving.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
