Creamy, savory comfort from a slow cooker, featuring juicy chicken breasts in a luscious ranch-cream sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces 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
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- to taste fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sear each chicken breast for about 2–3 minutes on both sides until golden brown.
- In the crock pot, combine cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until creamy and smooth.
- Place the seared (or raw) chicken breasts into the sauce, ensuring they are covered.
- Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is fork-tender.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken in the pot using two forks, mixing it into the creamy sauce.
- Stir in sour cream and optionally sprinkle with shredded cheese. Allow cheese to melt for a few minutes with the lid on.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For best results, use even-sized chicken breasts and consider searing for extra flavor. Adjust seasonings based on personal preference.
