Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for searing) Step is optional but adds more flavor.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) For garnish.
- 1 bunch fresh parsley (optional) For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- 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 the 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.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the creamy sauce.
- Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley, if desired.
Notes
Sear the chicken first for more flavor. Use full-fat sour cream for a creamier sauce. Adjust chicken broth if the sauce thickens too much after shredding.
