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
- Optional Searing: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the crock pot, mix the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Add the Chicken: Carefully place the seared chicken breasts into the crock pot, ensuring they are coated thoroughly with the sauce mixture.
- Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the Chicken: When cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the pot, mixing it into the sauce.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Stir in sour cream for that creamy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, check the labels on your cream of chicken soup and ranch seasoning mix. You can also skip the searing step to save time.
