Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional for searing)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions
- Optionally sear the chicken: If desired, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).

- Combine chicken and sauce: Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and coat them with the sauce mixture.
- Slow cook the chicken: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
- Shred the chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the creamy sauce.
- Add creaminess: Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley, if desired.
