Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (1 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth Add more if needed to keep chicken moist
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or mashed potatoes for serving Ideal for soaking up the gravy
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Make sure they’re arranged evenly for even cooking.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, ranch dressing mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well until mixed smoothly.
  3. Gently pour the creamy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring they’re all covered.
  4. Add salt and pepper according to your taste. Remember, you can always add more later, but you can’t take any out!
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
Serving
  1. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Once shredded, return it to the crockpot to let it soak up the gravy.
  2. Serve it over rice or mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For ingredient substitutions, try using Greek yogurt instead of cream of chicken soup for a lighter option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
