Irresistible Ranch Chicken Crock Pot: A Comforting, Creamy Slow Cooker Delight
Ingredients
- 2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. For an extra boost of flavor, you can sear the chicken breasts in a skillet with olive oil before adding them to the crock pot.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
3. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the prepared sauce over the top, ensuring the chicken is completely covered.
4. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
5. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken and sauce, allowing it to melt.
6. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley.
