Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredient Highlights

  • Ranch Seasoning Mix: This is the star of the dish, giving the chicken a creamy, savory ranch flavor that makes this recipe irresistible.
  • Cream of Chicken Soup: This adds richness and creaminess to the sauce, creating the perfect base for the chicken.
  • Chicken Breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts cook perfectly in the crockpot, staying moist and tender throughout the slow cooking process.
  • Sour Cream: Adds extra creaminess and a slight tang to balance the richness of the sauce.

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Sauce:

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Add the Ranch Seasoning Mix: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken breasts.
  3. Combine the Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth (or water), and sour cream. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper if desired. Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot.
  4. Add Butter: Dot the top of the chicken with the pieces of butter.

Slow Cook the Chicken:

  1. Set the Crockpot: Cover and cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain the heat.
  2. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot, mixing it into the creamy sauce.
