Cut two chicken breasts in half to create four pieces.

Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a small skillet.

Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Crush a clove of garlic over the chicken.

Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes until no longer pink in the center.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining chicken pieces.

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1/2 cup of Frank's Red Hot.

Let the butter melt and mix it with the chicken.

Transfer the chicken to a covered dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup buttermilk.

Add the juice of half a lemon, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt to the mixing bowl.

Mix the ranch dressing until well combined.

If desired, add 2-3 tablespoons of blue cheese to the ranch dressing for a blue cheese version.

Prepare the buns by spreading ranch dressing on one piece of the bread.

Top with chopped green onions or red onions if preferred.

Place a piece of chicken on the bread and drizzle some of the sauce from the pan over it.

Add tomato and lettuce on top of the chicken.

Assemble the sandwich and serve.
