Ranch Chicken Crock Pot
A creamy and savory chicken dish made in a crockpot with ranch seasoning, perfect for busy families.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup sour cream could be substituted with Greek yogurt for a healthier option
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional for searing) adds extra flavor
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) for garnish
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- If desired, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
- In the crockpot, add the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cooking
- Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and coat them with the sauce mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the creamy sauce.
- Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley, if desired.
Notes
This dish is incredibly versatile; serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles for a comforting meal. Consider adding vegetables like chopped carrots or bell peppers to the crockpot for extra flavor.
