Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Low-fat version can be used
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for searing) Enhances flavor
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Optionally sear the chicken breasts in a skillet with olive oil for a few minutes to lock in juices and add flavor. Then place the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cooking
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  2. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken shreds easily.
Finishing
  1. Shred the chicken, then top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Searing the chicken is optional, but enhances flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste; add hot sauce for extra spice. For a thicker sauce, let the lid off for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
