Method
 

How to Make Easy Creamy Ranch Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. In the crock pot, combine cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Carefully place the seared chicken into the sauce mixture, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
  4. Set your slow cooker to low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Cook until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  5. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot, mixing it with the sauce.
  6. Mix in sour cream until well combined. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

Notes

This dish can be served over rice or pasta for an extra comforting meal. Searing the chicken adds depth to the flavor, but can be skipped if short on time.
