Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Optional

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chicken (Optional): Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown to add extra flavor.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In the crockpot, combine cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well to create the sauce base.
  3. Add Chicken to Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and coat them well with the sauce mixture, ensuring they are covered evenly.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix it into the creamy sauce.
  6. Finish with Sour Cream and Garnish: Stir in the sour cream to add extra creaminess and flavor. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

  • For added richness, sear the chicken before slow cooking, but this step can be skipped for convenience.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth if you want to control salt intake.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, ensure the ranch seasoning and cream of chicken soup are certified gluten-free.
