A heartwarming and flavorful dish of tender chicken cooked in a creamy ranch sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 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
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chicken (Optional): If you prefer an added depth of flavor, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In the crock pot, combine the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Add Chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts into the crock pot, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce.
  4. Cook: Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the sauce.
  6. Finish the Dish: Stir in the sour cream. If desired, top off with shredded cheddar cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. For best flavor, consider searing the chicken.
