Chicken and Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of chicken soup
- 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)
Optional Garnishes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Sear the Chicken (Optional): Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for a few minutes on each side until golden brown to lock in juices and add extra flavor, then transfer to the slow cooker.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the prepared ranch sauce over the chicken breasts in the CrockPot. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, optionally sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor and color. Serve warm with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Sear the chicken to enhance flavor and texture, but this step is optional if short on time.
- Adjust cooking time according to the size and thickness of chicken breasts to ensure thorough cooking.
- Add diced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the CrockPot for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Increase the ranch seasoning in the sauce by 1-2 tablespoons if you prefer a stronger ranch flavor.
