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 for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- In the crockpot, add cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and coat them with the sauce mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and stir it back into the creamy sauce.
- Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley if desired.
Notes
- Tip: Searing the chicken before slow cooking adds extra depth of flavor.
- Variation: Add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or peas for a complete one-pot meal.
