Directions:
Prepare the Chicken: If desired, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
Combine Ingredients: In your CrockPot, combine the ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the Chicken: Place the seared (or raw) chicken breasts into the CrockPot, ensuring they are well coated with the creamy mixture.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Shred and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the CrockPot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir to combine. If desired, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt before serving.
Garnish and Enjoy: Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This creamy ranch chicken pairs perfectly with rice, pasta, or your favorite vegetables!
