Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix (1 oz)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz) Can substitute with cream of mushroom or homemade version.
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) For garnish.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If desired, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. In your slow cooker, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Carefully add the seared chicken breasts into the sauce, making sure they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, depending on your schedule.
  2. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
  3. Stir in the sour cream until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
Serving
  1. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

For a vegetarian twist, substitute chicken with turkey or tofu. For an extra kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce.
