Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 oz packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Optional, for searing chicken.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Optional, for serving.
  • Fresh parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If desired, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. In your slow cooker, whisk together cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker and turn to coat them well with the sauce.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  2. Once cooking time is up, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
Final Touches
  1. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  2. Serve the chicken hot over rice, potatoes, or noodles. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 to 3 months. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and consider adding vegetables for a one-pot meal.
