Let’s gather up the ingredients for this easy yet delightful recipe. Each component plays its part in crafting a dish that’s both nourishing and soul-soothing.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup

If you find yourself missing an ingredient, don’t fret! You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier twist or use homemade chicken stock for a richer flavor.
Instructions
Here’s where the magic happens. Follow these simple steps and let your crockpot do the rest:
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Ensure they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Set your crockpot to low heat and cook for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Thirty minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream and let it meld with the flavors, creating a creamy sauce.
- Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Pro tip: Make sure to taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Every crockpot is a bit different, and personal preference is key!
