Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs)

Gravy Mix

  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (1 oz)
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix (1 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz can)

Finishing Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Optional

  • Chopped onions (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Chopped garlic (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot, arranging them evenly to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix the Gravy: In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine and Coat: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure each piece is well coated with the sauce.
  4. Slow Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. This slow cooking process allows flavors to meld and the chicken to become juicy and soft.
  5. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it into the gravy for a consistent, hearty texture.
  6. Add Sour Cream and Season: Stir in the sour cream thoroughly to create a creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, mixing well to combine all flavors.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Serve the chicken and gravy hot over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley to add a fresh, colorful touch.
  8. Enhance Flavor (Optional): For additional flavor, consider adding chopped onions or garlic to the crockpot before cooking to infuse the dish with aromatic depth.
  9. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container and freeze for future meals, as this dish freezes well without losing flavor or texture.

Notes

  • Adding chopped onions or garlic to the crockpot before cooking enhances flavor.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • The cooked chicken can be shredded easily in the crockpot for convenience.
  • Leftovers freeze well; reheat gently to maintain texture and flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) after cooking to taste.
