Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can use thighs for richer flavor.
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz can.
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth Consider low-sodium for less salt.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
  • 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.
  • Fresh parsley For garnish, optional.

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).
  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.
  2. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the creamy sauce.
  3. Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley, if desired.

Notes

For more flavor, sear the chicken first. Adjust seasoning to taste. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
