Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning and Sauce
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (approximately 1 ounce)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with a small amount of cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Combine sauce ingredients: In a bowl, mix together ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Add chicken to the crock pot: Place the four boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crock pot.
- Pour sauce over chicken: Evenly pour the ranch and cream soup mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are nicely coated.
- Cook the chicken: Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Finish and serve: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot. You can spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken when serving. For extra flavor, shred the chicken into the sauce if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier twist.
- Serve this dish with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- If you prefer thicker sauce, remove the chicken once cooked and simmer the sauce on the stovetop for a few minutes to thicken before serving.
- Using fresh garlic and onion can enhance the flavor if preferred.
