Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Can be substituted with Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Optional for searing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Optional for garnish
  • to taste Fresh parsley Optional for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If desired, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
  2. In the crockpot, add the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and coat them with the sauce mixture.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
Final Steps
  1. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the creamy sauce.
  2. Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley, if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, sear the chicken if time allows. You can also add vegetables like carrots or potatoes for a complete meal in one pot. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
